Mitchell has career night as Mizzou rolls over Oklahoma
After losing consecutive games for the first time this season, Mizzou got back to its winning ways against an old foe.
Behind a career performance from Mark Mitchell and a stifling defensive effort, the Tigers toppled Oklahoma 82-58. The win extended their home winning streak over the Sooners to seven, a streak that dates all the way back to 2003.
Mizzou controlled the painted area all night long on both ends of the floor. Defensively the Tigers clamped down around the basket, as the Sooners missed 12 of their first 15 layups and 15 of 23 overall. Part of that number came from a lack of finishing ability by OU, but the other part came from elite rim protection by MU.
