It was far from Mizzou men’s basketball’s prettiest outing of the season, but the Tigers did enough to pick up their sixth consecutive win of the season with a 81-61 defeat of Lindenwood.
MU’s shining stars of the night were Marques Warrick and Tony Perkins. Perkins dropped 18, while Warrick scored 17 points on an efficient 6/10 shooting. However, the scoring proved to be a true team effort, as 11 different players entered the points column.
“We’re real dangerous,” Perkins said. “Rebounding-wise, scoring-wise, whatever we need, anybody in the game can do it.”
The Tigers constructed a solid lead in the first half before blowing it open in the second half.
