Game Notes
November 16, 2007
Winning Big...
Tonight's 95-50 win over Southern was the largest win ever at Mizzou Arena, and the largest in Missouri history since Dec. 6, 2001, when the Tigers defeated Southern 117-67.
Sweeping the SWAC...
Missouri is 21-0 all-time against members of the SWAC conference. They are also 6-0 when facing the Jaguars.
November Reign...
Mizzou reigns supreme in the 11th month of the year, and are 11-0 in November under Coach Anderson. Anderson is also, now 19-4 at home under Anderson and 15-0 at home against non-conference opponents as well.
Start me up...
Despite playing with a solid nine or ten man rotation, Missouri's starters accounted for 85% of the scoring, four of tonight's starters (K. Lawrence, M. Lawrence, D. Carroll and S. Hannah) all scored in double figures.
High Percentages...
Missouri Forwards DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons continued their consistent play tonight. For the year, Carroll is shooting 26-37 (.700) from the field. Lyons is shooting 16-24 (.666). Together they are shooting nearly 69-percent from the floor (42-61).
Game on...
Despite the grueling pace at which Coach Anderson plays, the Tigers did not take a timeout all game.
Under Pressure...
Missouri held Southern to 21 points in the first half, that's the fewest points allowed in a half by Missouri since Nov. 25 of last year against Stephen F. Austin (17 in the first half).
Mizzou: Unleashed...
Today's game marks the second straight game that Missouri led by 30 going into the half (51-21). Missouri led Fordham 53-23 going into the break in their last game on November 13.
Unselfish Play...
