Did You Notice?
• Sean East III tallied a game-high 21 points for Mizzou men's basketball, his sixth 20-plus point game this season. His six 20- point games are the most by a Tiger through 10 games since Jordan Clarkson in 2013-14.
• Kansas shot 2-for-12 in the first 8:30 minutes of Saturday's game, which is good for a 16.6 percent field-goal percentage. However, the Jayhawks still outshot the Tigers 44.6 percent to 41.4 percent.
• Kansas did not allow Missouri to have a second-chance point.
Mizzou Quote of the Day:
“They did a great job getting to the free throw line. We shot zero free throws in the first half. I thought the game was physical enough where at least we could come away with one or two. That would have broke the momentum. In that last five minutes (of the first half) we didn’t."
— Dennis Gates after Saturday's loss to Kansas
