Mizzou overcomes slow start for easy win over Kennesaw State

Ricardo Ratliffe puts in two of his 18 points. Mizzou athletics

Ricardo Ratliffe and Michael Dixon scored 18 points each as the 10th ranked Missouri Tigers shook off a slow start to dominate the Kennesaw State Owls 104-67,  Thursday night at Mizzou Arena.  Marcus Denmon added 17 points for the 10-0 Tigers who are unbeaten after the first ten games for the first time since an 11-0 start in 1991-92. Mizzou ran their homecourt non-conference winning streak to 65 games.

“Honestly, we didn’t do anything yet,” Ratlilffe said. “We just focus on the next game. It doesn’t matter if it’s Kansas or Christopher Newport, a D-III out of Virginia, we just go out there and play our style, and just come out with a win.”

Ratliffe was 8 for 10 from the field, Denmon was 8 for 11 and Dixon 5 for 7. Missouri had a 36-26 rebounding advantage.

Coach Frank Haith, who is the first Missouri coach to win his first ten games since 1920-21 had a good line when describing the slow start saying, “I thought we were a little too Cadillac.”  The Owls led 29-28, just over twelve minutes into the game.

The Tigers host William & Mary on Sunday, then get ready for their St. Louis trip to face Illinois next Thursday.
