ABC 17 Sports Director Nathalie Jones spoke with the Mizzou women's basketball coach Kellie Harper, as the 'Zou to You' tour made its final stop of the summer to mingle with fans in Columbia.

The pair talked about the Tigers' summer work, as Coach Harper is set for her second season in Columbia.

"People that know basketball, people that really know women's basketball, they're looking at us, right now. They're like 'wow, what's going on over there?' We've had a lot of excitement and a lot of interest from young recruits because of this past season," she said.
