COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou Men's Basketball won its third-straight game on Saturday night at Mizzou Arena, running away from Green Bay, 100-77. Head coach Cuonzo Martin's squad exploded offensively, scoring 100 points in a game for the first time since the 2012-13 season.
 
The offense was again propelled by the three-point shot, as the Black & Gold sank 14 field goals from downtown, matching a season-high. The Tigers were led by junior guard Jordan Geist (Fort Wayne, Ind.), who scored a career-high and team season-high 28 points off the bench in what was perhaps the best game of his career. Normally regarded for his hustle and defense, Geist was nearly unstoppable offensively for the Tigers, going 11-for-14 from the field and 5-for-8 from three-point territory.  
 
Turning Point
 
With each side exchanging baskets throughout the first half, the Tigers needed a spark to pull away from the Phoenix. That momentum came in the form of junior guard Jordan Geist, who scored 11 points during a 31-13 Mizzou run that would close the first half. Geist's shooting form was on full display during the extended Mizzou spurt, as he did not miss a shot, going a perfect 4-for-4 from the field over that period. Geist would finish the half with a career-high-matching 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting, and Mizzou would take a commanding 60-40 lead into the locker room. Green Bay would never again get within 14 points.
