With five players averaging double-digit scoring for Missouri, the Tigers have options with an offense that scores nearly 90 points per game. Through 12 games so far this season, Missouri’s 88.8 scoring average ranks fourth nationally and is second to Arizona (90.2 ppg) among Power 5 teams.
D’Moi Hodge, who followed first-year head coach Dennis Gates from Cleveland State to Missouri, is the team’s leading scorer with 16.7 points per game in the backcourt. But it’s veteran guard/forward Kobe Brown who has the Kentucky staff’s attention after watching tape on the Wildcats’ next opponent, according to UK assistant KT Turner at Tuesday’s pre-Missouri press conference in Lexington.
