Marques Warrick leads attack off bench as Mizzou tops Lindenwood in non-league affair

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Mizzou basketball coach Dennis Gates has one small complaint about the performance of guard Marques Warrick.

"I would love to see him shoot more than 10 shots a game," Gates said.

Warrick stopped at that magic number again on Wednesday night.

But 10 was more than enough this time around.

The 6-foot-3-inch sparkplug scored 17 points off the bench to help the Tigers to a decisive 81-61 win over Lindenwood in front of 9,298 fans at Mizzou Arena.

Missouri (6-1) won its sixth successive game following an 83-75 season-opening loss to Memphis on Nov.
