Jason Crowe Jr. sets Missouri freshman scoring record

Freshman guard Jason Crowe Jr. set a new Missouri single-game freshman scoring record, scoring 34 points during the Tigers' 96-58 victory over SIU Edwardsville on Monday night.

Crowe shot 11 of 16 from the field, including four 3-pointers, and went 8 of 9 from the free-throw line. His performance served as a recovery from a previous game where he struggled offensively. Toni Bryant contributed 18 points and seven rebounds, while Bryson Tiller added 11 points to the win.

The Tigers demonstrated high efficiency, shooting 58 percent from the field and 52 percent from 3-point range. Missouri also forced 14 turnovers and limited SIU Edwardsville to 17 percent shooting from beyond the arc. Mark Mitchell left the game early due to a facial injury.
