Oklahoma Sooners at Missouri Tigers

Mark Mitchell scores career-high 25 points to help No. 21 Missouri beat Oklahoma 82-58

Caleb Grill had 15 points and Tony Perkins added 12 for the Tigers (18-6, 7-4 Southeastern Conference), who snapped a two-game skid.

Mitchell shot 6 of 12 from the field, 13 for 18 at the free-throw line and grabbed a team-best seven rebounds.

Duke Miles scored 18 points and Jalon Moore added 10 points and seven rebounds for Oklahoma (16-8, 3-8), which lost its third straight.

Missouri never trailed in the first half and pulled away on a 10-0 run after Moore hit two free throws that cut Oklahoma’s deficit to 13-11 with 13:50 remaining in the first half.

It was the 213th meeting between the former Big 8 and Big 12 foes, but the first since they played in the first round of the 2021 NCAA Tournament.

Takeaways Oklahoma: The Sooners did not have the depth to keep up with Missouri as they finished 1-4 during a stretch of five straight games against ranked opponents.

He is the fifth member of the Missouri roster to reach 1,000 points, joining Grill, Perkins, Marques Warrick and Tamar Bates.
