Four players scored in double digits, strong perimeter defense traveled effectively and No. 21 Missouri overpowered Georgia behind a dominant second half.
The Tigers (19-6, 8-4 Southeastern Conference) beat the Bulldogs (16-10, 4-9) 87-74 to functionally lock in their spot in the NCAA Tournament. And in doing so, Mizzou pushed Georgia to the periphery of the tournament bubble.
Point guard Anthony Robinson II busted his recent slump with 15 points, seven assists and five rebounds. He fouled out during garbage time but was the best player on the floor for a key part of the second half that saw MU assemble a 15-0 run.
