Mizzou outscoring Tech 12-2, to go from down 14-13 to up 25-16
Tech outscoring Mizzou 16-2, to go from down 30-22 to up 38-32
Mizzou answering with a 13-1 blitz to go back up, 45-39
Mizzou again outscoring Tech 12-2, to increase its lead from 65-62 to 77-64
Tech going on a 7-0 run, to cut an 87-77 deficit to 87-84
The Red Raiders got no closer, with the Tigers winning 92-84. Mizzou is now a perfect 16-0 at home.
