Tigers Beat Buffaloes, 60-53 Posted by Nick - 2/24 8:24am | The Missouri Tigers took care of business on Saturday night by defeating the Colorado Buffaloes 60-53 at Mizzou Arena.
Keon Lawrence scored 16 points to lead the Tigers to their fifth conference victory this season. Leo Lyons was the leading rebounder for the Tigers with 10 boards.
Colorado came out strong and had opened up an eight point lead in the middle of the first half. The Tigers then started hitting their shots and opened up a 32-20 lead at the half.
In the second half, the Tigers opened the gap to 18 points, but Colorado was able to slowly chip away at that mountain to just two points with four minutes left. Mizzou hung on and defeated the Buffs by 7 points.
The victory puts the Tigers at 15-12 on the season, and 5-7 in conference play. The next opponent for the Tigers are the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Tuesday at Mizzou Arena.

Tigers Take Down Huskers in OT Posted by Nick - 2/14 5:36am | It took a bit of extra time, but the Missouri Tigers defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Lincoln on Wednesday by the score of 86-78. The victory puts the team at 4-6 in Big 12 Conference play and keeps the hope of an NIT bid alive.
The Cornhuskers jumped out to an early lead on the Tigers, but Mizzou was able to go on a run shortly before halftime to take an 11-point lead into the break.
In the second half, Nebraska whittled the Missouri lead for the entire half before a couple of last second free throws tied the game at 71 and forced overtime.
In overtime, Missouri dominated the scoring and opened up a 9-point lead that the Huskers were unable to overcome.
Keon Lawrence led the Tigers with 19 points with J.T. Tiller putting in 14, Leo Lyons adding 12, and Marshall Brown scoring 11. DeMarre Carroll led the team with 7 rebounds.
Up next for the Tigers are the Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan on Saturday at 5:00pm.
