COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) --- Jayden Stone scored 22 points, Mark Mitchell added 20
points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and Missouri took down South Carolina, 78-59 on
Saturday.
Stone was an efficient 7-for-9 shooting from the field (3 for 4 from deep), and
Mitchell went 7 for 11 (1 for 2 from deep) for the Tigers (16-7, 6-4
Southeastern Conference). Mizzou was 25-for-54 shooting from the field overall.
T.O. Barrett added 14 points and seven rebounds, but struggled shooting (4 for
12).
The Tigers did not trail for the entire game, taking their first lead 37
seconds into the contest. They led 34-30 at halftime, and a 10-3 run to start
the second half pushed their lead to double-digits.
Stone hit a 3-pointer with 7:17 remaining to start an 8-0 run that gave Mizzou
a comfortable 15-point lead.
Meechie Johnson scored 13 points for the Gamecocks (11-13, 2-9), but was just
2-for-13 shooting from the field and 1 for 7 from beyond the arc. Kobe Knox and
Elijah Strong each added 12 points, and Eli Ellis had 11.
