Phu NguyenFreshmen Jontay Porter and Jeremiah Tilmon had both shown flashes of NBA-level talent this season, and both were displayed Saturday evening, when they helped Missouri grab its 20th win, a 77-67 final over Arkansas, a victory that likely solidified an NCAA Tournament berth for the Tigers.
Porter finished the game with 19 points and Tilmon with a career-high 17, both against an Arkansas full-court press and chaotic defense.
