Just three days after giving up a double-digit lead to Texas A&M on Saturday, Missouri responded with exactly what coach Cuonzo Martin was looking for.
That was a complete game from the Tigers’ defense.
The result was a complete-game win for Missouri, a 78-53 win over the Rebels, which is the first road win of the year for the Tigers.
Ole Miss cut the Missouri lead to 10 right after the under-eight media timeout, but MU responded with a 15-2 run over the next five minutes to put the game out of reach with nearly two minutes to go.
Missouri improves to 8-9 overall, and 2-3 in SEC play. Amari Davis stole the spotlight with 23 points and a perfect 10 of 10 from the field.
