- Mizzou established a Mizzou Arena record for free throws made and attempted, both by itself and by any team playing in the building, which opened in 2004-05.

The attempts by Mizzou tied the overall Mizzou Arena record of 43 by Kansas State on Jan. 13, 2007.

- The win tonight improved the Tigers to 24-4 overall and 11-2 in Big 12 play, with the conference wins tying the most for MU since the Big 12 began play in 1996-97. The only other time MU has amassed 11 Big 12 wins came in Coach Norm Stewart's final season, when the Tigers went 11-5 in league play (1998-99) and tied for 2nd place…
Tonight's win clinched a first-round bye in the upcoming Big 12 Tournament in Oklahoma City, Okla., as the Tigers can finish no worse than in a tie for 3rd place. Mizzou has had only one other first-round bye in the previous 12 years of Big 12 play (the aforementioned 1998-99 season)…
