In a game that both sides desperately needed to win, Arkansas put forth a dominant wire-to-wire performance in a 91-84 win at Mizzou Arena on Wednesday.
Tamar Bates led the way for Missouri, scoring 29 points and recording a whopping five steals. He poured in 23 of those points during a furious second-half effort.
But, with Arkansas missing the services of the recently departed Davonte Davis and injured forward Trevon Brazile, other players stepped up for Eric Musselman’s bunch. Makhi Mitchell, Keyon Menifield Jr. and Jalen Graham combined to score 48 points, and leading scorer Tramon Mark picked up his play in the second half to add on 22.
