COLUMBIA — There didn't appear to be as much rust as Missouri men's basketball coach Mike Anderson had feared after a week-long break between games.
The Tigers (7-3) shot 46 percent from the floor and caused 20 turnovers in its 88-70 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff (0-9) on Saturday at Mizzou Arena. The win extends Missouri's home-court streak to 25 games.
Missouri used a 19-point first half run to pull ahead of Arkansas-Pine Bluff by 27, and the Tigers maintained a lead throughout the game. The Golden Lions came within 11 at halftime, but never got closer than that.
This was just the fourth game all season that the Tigers weren't outrebounded by their opponent. However, the Tigers finished with just one more rebound than the Golden Lions.
