Tigers Flex Size in Season-Opening Win over Howard
Senior center Shawn Phillips Jr. scored 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as Missouri dominated the paint to secure a 21-point road win over Howard.
- In the season opener, Missouri beat Howard 88-67 as senior center Shawn Phillips Jr. recorded a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds.
- Size advantages showed up when Missouri scored 46 points in the paint and controlled the interior, as Gates noted `we relied on our size and inside scoring`.
- Shooting efficiency helped: Mizzou shot 55.7% overall and 52.6% from 3-point range, with graduate guard Jacob Crews hitting a 3-pointer at 12:14 remaining to extend the lead.
- Dennis Gates praised the effort, saying `I thought it was a great game, our guys really went, played in a tough environment`, and Missouri returns home for seven consecutive home games beginning Friday at Mizzou Arena.
- With injuries sidelining contributors, Trent Pierce and Annor Boateng were ruled out and Mark Mitchell's Oct. 24 wrist concern is unclear, while early signs suggest Phillips was a strong portal addition.
