COLUMBIA, MO — The University of Missouri men’s basketball team got back onto the winning track by defeating Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, 96-58, in an NCAA basketball game, Monday night at Mizzou Arena.

New Tiger Jason Crowe Jr. set a new Mizzou single-game freshman scoring record, with 34 points on 11-of-16 field goal attempts, which included four-of-eight three-pointers and eight-of-nine free throws.

The previous record had been held by Mizzou all-time legend Derrick Chievous, who scored 32 points as a freshman in a game in 1984.

Fellow freshman Toni Bryant had 18 points, seven rebounds, three assists, and a steal, while sophomores Bryson Tiller and Jamier Jones added 11 points and 10 points, respectively, on a night when Mizzou never trailed at any point in the game.

The night began with an alley-oop dunk to Trent Pierce. SIUE answered with a basket to tie. But Mizzou responded with runs of 13-2, 11-2, and 12-0 to take a 48-24 lead in to halftime.

The Tigers led by as many as 37 points in the second half, before emptying the bench and closing out what proved to be a rather easy victory.

Missouri is now 2-1 on the season, while SIUE fell to 2-2.

The Tigers will enjoy the rest of the week off before returning to action on Sunday, when they’ll participate in the Legends Classic in Chicago and play a game against Marquette. Tip off is set for 1:30 p.m., and the game will be streamed live on Peacock.
