Senior guard Caleb Grill scored 22 points helping #14 Missouri to a dominant 101-71 win over South Carolina on Tuesday at Mizzou Arena.
Sophomore Anthony Robinson II added 14 points and matched his career high eight assists. Mark Mitchell and Tony Perkins each scored 13 points for the Tigers who had six players score in double figures for the second time this season.
Missouri’s 101 points were the most allowed by the Gamecocks this season and marked the fourth time the Tigers scored at least 100 points this season. Mizzou has scored at least 80 points in five straight conference games for the first time since 1989 when it was a member of the Big 8.
The Tigers have won four of their last five games, and are now 18-1 at home this season, currently the most home wins in the NCAA. With the win, Missouri also recorded their 10th conference win, becoming the first Power four school ever to go from winning no games one season, after going 0-18 in the SEC last year, to 10 wins the next.
With three games left in the regular season, Missouri is next on the road Saturday against Vanderbilt. Tipoff will be at 5pm with pregame at 4:30 on KFEQ (680AM/95.3FM).
