Tigers top Rebels with strong second half

It was all knotted up at half when Missouri and Ole Miss returned to the floor for the second half of their first round matchup in the SEC tournament, but once the second half started, it was all Missouri as they cruised to a 72-60 victory over the Rebels.

The Tigers opened second period on a 11-0 run to put themselves up double digits early in the half, and they never relented. At one point, the Missouri lead stretched out to as much as 15, and the score never got closer than 9.
