Arkansas overwhelms Mizzou from opening tip

COLUMBIA, Mo. • So much for that Mizzou momentum.

Hoping to win consecutive conference games for the first time in two years, the Tigers ran into a brick wall Tuesday at Mizzou Arena. For the crowd of 6,627 in what’s supposed to be Mizzou’s Southeastern Conference rivalry game, Arkansas’ early onslaught should have looked familiar.

In their 94-61 victory, the Razorbacks blitzed MU from the opening tip as Mike Anderson’s team smothered the Tigers on one end and couldn’t miss from the other, the same treatment Anderson’s old Mizzou teams unleashed on so many visitors to Norm Stewart Court.
