COLUMBIA — When Jasmyn Otote limped off the court grimacing during the MU women’s basketball team’s practice on Tuesday, coach Cindy Stein momentarily saw the number of healthy bodies on her team drop to eight. The freshman forward returned to practice minutes later, but her injury was a quick flash of the worst case scenario for the Tigers: a third injury on a roster that had only 11 players to begin the season. Injuries have already begun to take their toll before the season has even gotten underway.
