(COLUMBIA, Mo.) After a rocky week for the Missouri Men's Basketball program, Saturday served as a much-needed boost.
Keion Bell put forth a solid effort after missing Tuesday's game with an ankle injury, pouring in 12 points in the 22nd-ranked Tigers' 81-59 win over Vanderbilt.
Jabari Brown led Mizzou (15-4, 4-2) with 21 points, while Alex Oriakhi and Phil Pressey also hit double figures with 18 and 12, respectively. As a team, the Tigers shot 54 percent from the floor.
Leading scorer Laurence Bowers was again held out due to injury, but head coach Frank Haith said he could have been used if needed.
The Tigers return to the floor Wednesday when they travel to LSU.
