Mark Mitchell scores career-high 25 points to help No. 21 Missouri beat Oklahoma 82-58
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Mark Mitchell scored 19 points in the first half and finished with a career-high 25 to help No. 21 Missouri rout Oklahoma 82-58 on Wednesday night.
Caleb Grill had 15 points and Tony Perkins added 12 for the Tigers (18-6, 7-4 Southeastern Conference), who snapped a two-game skid.
Mitchell shot 6 of 12 from the field, 13 for 18 at the free-throw line and grabbed a team-best seven rebounds.
Duke Miles scored 18 points and Jalon Moore added 10 points and seven rebounds for Oklahoma (16-8, 3-8), which lost its third straight.
Missouri never trailed in the first half and pulled away on a 10-0 run after Moore hit two free throws that cut Oklahoma’s deficit to 13-11 with 13:50 remaining in the first half.
It was the 213th meeting between the former Big 8 and Big 12 foes, but the first since they played in the first round of the 2021 NCAA Tournament.
Takeaways
Oklahoma: The Sooners did not have the depth to keep up with Missouri as they finished 1-4 during a stretch of five straight games against ranked opponents.
Missouri: The Tigers avoided the slow start that plagued them in losses to top-10 foes Tennessee and Texas A&M. They forced 13 turnovers in the first half and held Oklahoma to 7-of-32 shooting (22%).
Key moment
Mitchell made a layup with 59 seconds remaining in the first half to give him 1,000 career points. Mitchell transferred to Missouri last offseason after spending his first two seasons at Duke. He is the fifth member of the Missouri roster to reach 1,000 points, joining Grill, Perkins, Marques Warrick and Tamar Bates.
Key stat
Missouri is 17-2 this season when leading at halftime.
Up next
Oklahoma hosts LSU on Saturday, and Missouri visits Georgia.

The caller stated that a vehicle driving in front of him stopped in the only open lane of traffic directly in front of him and “appeared to have a firearm.”
Authorities responded to the area and founf the suspect vehicle in Winnebago County. After a coordinated high-risk traffic stop, the 26-year-old driver from Missouri was detained and arrested for disorderly conduct.
After the man consented to a search of his vehicle, no gun was found.

Prosecutor will not charge Missouri residents who sign redistricting repeal petition twice
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – The Jackson County prosecutor announced that her office will not pursue criminal charges against those who may have signed the Congressional Redistricting petition twice.
Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins stated Oct. 15 that he had approved the sponsor of a petition for repealing the recently passed redistricting map to begin collecting signatures.
To qualify for the November 2026 general election ballot, proponents must collect signatures from at least 5% of registered voters in six of Missouri’s eight congressional districts by the statutory deadline.
Hoskins said any signatures gathered before his approval will not count.
Jackson County Prosecutor Melesa Johnson said that Hoskins’ statement has left many Jackson County residents uncertain about whether their signatures would count and whether their voices would be heard.
“State officials announced that signatures collected before Oct. 15 for the redistricting petition would not be counted. They also indicated that circulating the petition early is not a crime,” Johnson said. “If any Jackson County residents had already signed the redistricting petition before Oct. 15 and then learned their signatures may not be counted, they may have signed again to ensure their voices would be heard, unaware that signing a petition twice is technically a misdemeanor criminal offense under Missouri law. ”
Johnson said she will not pursue charges against people who may be caught in that predicament.
“People may have signed again after October 15 because of mixed messaging, not because they were trying to break the law,” she said. “They simply want to ensure their voices were being heard on an issue that directly affects their representation in Congress.”
Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe had convened Missouri’s General Assembly for a special session to enact an updated congressional map, which included a significant change to the Fifth District in Kansas City.
