Tiller brings more of what coach Mike Anderson demands than perhaps any player in the nation: All-out effort and a defense-first attitude. He changes games without scoring in double digits.</p><p><strong>First challenge</strong></p><p>Where do the points come from? No returning player averaged 10 points a game last season. Two or three of the guards will have to step up their offense.</p><p><strong>End game</strong></p><p>After an Elite Eight finish that most considered beyond the reach of last year&rsquo;s team, don&rsquo;t sell this bunch short. An NCAA Tournament bid is expected again.

But she also said she understood why the team&rsquo;s expectations were higher than anyone else&rsquo;s. The end game for Mizzou may be the end of days for Stein as the coach.</p><p></div>
