Marcus Denmon scored 23 points and Miguel Paul added 17 as the Missouri Tigers rolled to a 117-68 win over Brock University on Sunday in St. Catherines, Ontario.

Missouri shot 54% and hit three pointers as the Tigers win for the second day in a row.  Brock took a brief lead 22-20 midway through the second quarter, but Missouri closed the half with a 33-8 run to seize control. The Tigers also outscored Brock 34-14 in the fourth period to get the 49-point win.

Mizzou had 11 different players play double-figures minutes and only junior guard J.T. Tiller played 20 minutes.
