Missouri’s interesting season continued on Saturday as the Tigers let a 27-point lead slip to single-digits but still closed their non-conference slate with a 75-61 win over Morehead State. The Tigers have won six straight.
After a quiet game against Illinois, his former team, sophomore guard Mark Smith led Missouri with a career-high 22 points. The sophomore outscored the Eagles (4-9) 16-5 early in the game as the Tigers led 32-5 at one point in the first half.
The Tigers went into halftime up 45-22 but saw the Eagles cut the score to 59-51 with eight minutes after a strong run at the start of the second half.
