-The Tigers held the Buffaloes to just one field goal in the first 6:50 of the first half. Colorado went 5:45 without a field goal during that span.

-Senior Arthur Johnson recorded his 1,000th rebound in the second half of tonight's game. He had four rebounds on the night making his career total 1,001. Johnson is only the second player in school history with more than 1,000 rebounds and only the third player in Big 12 history to accomplish that feat.

-On another note, Bryant's field goal miss with 6:23 left to play in the second half was his first missed field goal attempt since a missed 3 point attempt with 2:18 left to play against Kansas (2/02/04). Bryant went 4-4 against Nebraska and made his first five attempts tonight against Colorado.
-The Tigers led the entire first half with the first lead change not occurring until the 16:19 mark of the second half.
-Missouri's 23 attempted 3-point field goals is its highest since Missouri's last meeting with the Buffaloes (1/28/04) when the Tigers attempted 32. Missouri is now 4-6 when attempting more than 20 3-pointers in a game.
-MU is now 2-0 under Quin Snyder when under .500.
-The attendance in tonight's game was 9,370. It is the second smallest crowd in attendance at home this season. The smallest crowd on the year was 12/02/03 with 9,091 against Coppin State. This breaks a streak of five straight sellouts.
