Behind a school-record 16 3-pointers in a SEC contest, the Missouri men’s basketball team earned an 89-77 win at Ole Miss on Tuesday night. With the win, the Tigers improve to 15-5 on the season and 4-4 in SEC play, while the Rebels drop to 9-11 overall and 1-7 versus league foes.
Graduate student D’Moi Hodge and senior Isiaih Mosley each reached 20 points in the winning performance with Hodge scoring a game-high 24 and Mosley adding 20. The duo connected on 10 triples between them with Hodge making 6-of-11 and Mosley sinking 4-of-7.
Mosley and senior Kobe Brown also paced the attack with five assists apiece, while Brown added 18 points of his own.
Hodge was hot from the start in the game and gave the Tigers a lead it would not relinquish. The graduate guard sunk four from beyond the arc in the first six and a half minutes as Mizzou raced to a 22-13 lead.
The Tigers take a break from SEC action with a non-conference tilt against Iowa State on Saturday. First tip in the SEC-Big 12 Challenge is set for 1 p.m. at Mizzou Arena.
