TIGERS OPEN BIG 12 PLAY AT COLORADO WEDNESDAY

Mizzou is 10-14 in conference openers and 2-8 in Big 12 openers ... the Tigers have won their last two to begin league action ... this is also the sixth time in Cindy Stein's nine years the MU has started Big 12 play on the road.

2006-07 SQUAD OFF TO FASTEST START IN MU HISTORY
Sitting at 12-1 through 13 games the 2006-07 Tigers have tied the 1976-77 team for the fastest start in school history ... each team earned 12 wins in its first 13 games ... last year's team, along with the 1976-77, 82-83, 83-84 and 92-93 groups hold the record for most wins with two losses at 13-2.

WHAT A SECOND HALF!
Hoops experts often say that hot shooting is contagious ... if that's true, then on Friday night there was an outbreak of record proportions for Missouri in the second half of its win over UAPB ... the Tigers scored 62 points, shot 74.2 percent from the field, 55 percent from behind the arc and made all 10 free throw attempts ... in fact from the 5:13 mark of the second half to the 13:54 point, Missouri didn't miss a single shot - going 13-for-13 from the floor and 5-for-5 from the charity stripe ... the 62 points are the third most in a half in school history (64 on two occasions in 1977-78), while the 74 percent is the most at Mizzou since at least the 1992-93 season (research is still in progress on that one).
