COLUMBIA — With about 16 minutes left in the MU women’s basketball team’s exhibition game against Pittsburg State on Monday, sophomore forward Jessra Johnson shook off a slow first half to take the game into her own hands. She led the sluggish Tigers all the way back from a 13-point second-half deficit by hitting three consecutive layups while being fouled, spurring a 35-8 run that averted disaster against the Gorillas.
