Tigers Knock Off the Sooners

The Missouri Tigers didn't have too much trouble last night as they beat the number five ranked Oklahoma Sooners in Columbia 73-64. The Tigers harassed the OU guards into numerous turnovers and frustrated Sooners post man Blake Griffin into several key mistakes. Griffin is projected by many to be an NBA lottery pick later this year.

The win gives 12th ranked Missouri a perfect 18-0 record for the season at Mizzou Arena. And the win improves Mizzou to 25-5 and 12-3 in conference. Oklahoma falls to 26-4 and is also 12-3 in conference.

Up next for the Tigers is Texas A&M in College Station on Saturday afternoon.
