Missouri Tigers freshman guard Jason Crowe Jr. set a program freshman single-game scoring record with 34 points as the Tigers routed Southern Illinois Edwardsville 96-58 on Monday night at Mizzou Arena.
Crowe's Record Night
Crowe, a five-star recruit, shot 11-of-16 from the field and 4-of-8 from three-point range, surpassing the previous freshman mark and outscoring any Missouri player from the 2025-26 season. He had 22 points at halftime, nearly matching SIUE's first-half total of 24.
Mitchell Exits Early
Fifth-year forward Mark Mitchell left the game after the first defensive possession following a collision with SIUE guard Dehrio McCaskill. Mitchell held his face and went to the locker room; the team announced a head injury and he did not return.
Supporting Cast
Freshman forward Toni Bryant added 18 points and six rebounds, while transfers Bryson Tiller (11 points) and Jamier Jones (10 points) also reached double figures. Kennard Davis Jr. contributed nine points, including three consecutive three-pointers to open the second half.
