• Key stat: Missouri committed 16 turnovers; Mississippi had seven.
Notes
Mississippi guard Marshall Henderson has gained a reputation for his on-court antics, and he lived up to it on Friday. After the Rebels got a crucial defensive stop and called timeout, Henderson sauntered to the side of the court where most of the Missouri fans were seated and glared into the section, eliciting a less-than-positive response from the Tigers faithful.
Henderson finished with a game-high 27 points.
After the game, Missouri coach Frank Haith was told that some Mississippi players said a few Tigers didn’t shake hands. Haith seemed befuddled before he caught himself.
“Come on, now,” Haith said.
• With another victory, Haith will join Norm Stewart as the only Missouri basketball coaches to win 24 games or more in a season twice.
