COLUMBIA, MO. • Missouri freshman guard Frankie Hughes will be hard pressed to come up with an encore as impressive as his debut at Mizzou Arena. In his first regular-season game, the rookie from Cleveland put on a shooting clinic against Alabama A&M in MU's 99-44 victory, finishing with 23 points, which tied Mizzou’s record for most points by a freshman in his college debut.
Hughes shares the record with a Mizzou legend, Steve Stipanovich, who scored 23 points in his first college game against Southwest Texas State Nov. 30, 1979.
