COLUMBIA, Mo. — That's more like it.
No. 22 Missouri men's basketball bounced back from its worst offensive outing of the year, dispatching No. 16 Mississippi 83-75 Saturday.
The Tigers (16-4, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) looked like their normal selves against the Rebels (15-5, 4-3), getting to the free throw line at will, crisply knocking down 3-pointers and winning the rebounding battle.
Mizzou's combo guard tandem of Tamar Bates and Caleb Grill carried the scoring load with 26 and 22 points respectively. They combined for nine made 3s as the Tigers shot 44% from beyond the arc as a team.
