00:01Missouri rolled out the welcome mat for Sophie Cunningham as the WNBA star returned to her alma
00:07mater for Mizzou homecoming. Cunningham rode through the celebration in the back of a pickup
00:12truck, waving to supporters and tossing candy to children gathered along the parade route.
00:24The warm reception quickly attracted attention online with fans treating the former Tigers star
00:31like Missouri royalty. Cunningham remains Mizzou women's basketball's all-time leading scorer and
00:37was inducted into the university's Athletics Hall of Fame in 2025. The celebration came shortly after
00:43Cunningham's second season with the Indiana Fever ended with a first-round playoff elimination.
00:49Her one-year contract has expired, making her an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2027 season.
00:57Her WNBA future may be undecided, but back in Missouri, Cunningham looked completely at home.
