After ten previous attempts, the Missouri Tigers finally beat the Kentucky Wildcats on the hardwood.  Jordan Barnett and Kassius Robertson each scored 16 in the Tigers 69-60 victory Saturday in front of a near-capacity Mizzou Arena.

The Tigers defense held Kentucky to 31% shooting including just 2-for-20 from three point range.  Kentucky went through three long scoring droughts in the first half as Mizzou led 28-18 after the first half.  The Wildcats opened the second half by closing to within one, before Mizzou went on an 8-0 run to push the game back to 9.  Kentucky never threatened after that.
