Mizzou Football claimed the Battle Line Rivalry Presented by Shelter Insurance® with a 24-14 win over Arkansas Friday afternoon (Nov. 29) at War Memorial Stadium. Mizzou QB Taylor Powell found former Razorback Jonathan Nance, who graduate transferred to Mizzou this season, for a 10-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to put the game away.

Mizzou finishes the regular season 6-6 (3-5 in SEC play) while Arkansas falls to 2-10 and 0-8 in league contests. Mizzou has dominated its permanent cross-division rival Arkansas as of late, winning the last four meetings against the Razorbacks.

The Tigers took a 10-7 lead into intermission and got the ball back on the second half’s opening possession with a chance to extend the lead. However, Arkansas CB Greg Brooks picked off Mizzou QB Taylor Powell on the first play of the drive. Arkansas scored three plays later on a Jack Lindsey completion to Grayson Gunter for a 10-yard strike, giving the Hogs a 14-10 lead.

The four-point cushion was short-lived as Powell led an impressive touchdown drive, aided by big runs from sophomore RB Tyler Badie, who capped an eight-play, 84-yard drive with a three-yard score. Badie had 53 of Mizzou’s 84 yards on the go-ahead drive to give the Tigers a 17-14 lead heading to the fourth quarter.

The play of the game then came courtesy of redshirt freshman WR Tauskie Dove, who went up and over an Arkansas defender on third-and-10 from Mizzou’s own 36 to haul in a 37-yard reception. Five plays later, Powell connected with former Arkansas WR Jonathan Nance for a 10-yard TD strike to put the game out of reach of his former team.

Mizzou Men’s Basketball (4-3) fell to the Oklahoma Sooners (6-1), 77-66, Tuesday night in the consolation game of the Hall of Fame Classic. Juniors Mark Smith, Jeremiah Tilmon, Jr., and Dru Smith combined for 40 of Mizzou’s 66 points, including 31 in the second half to fuel a comeback that fell short.

Oklahoma got off to a sizzling perfect 8-for-8 start from the field, as Mizzou faced an early deficit out of the gate. The Sooners led by as many as 18 in the opening half, but sophomore guard Torrence Watson kept the Tigers within striking distance, knocking down three key triples to counter Oklahoma’s hot stretch. Mizzou turned up the defense late in the frame. A 6-0 run capped off with a Dru Smith steal and a Javon Pickett layup in transition sliced the deficit to 12 at halftime.

Mizzou continued to chip away at the Oklahoma lead, as the Tigers held the Sooners to a four-minute scoring drought early in the second half. A Mark Smith 3-pointer punctuated a 9-0 run that made it a one-possession game with seven minutes remaining. Oklahoma responded, however, with tough shots, and capitalized on Mizzou turnovers to stave off the Tigers’ comeback.

Dru Smith scored a game-high 19 points but Missouri still fell to Butler, 63-52, in the semifinal of the Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City.

Mizzou started slow, falling behind by 12 at halftime.  The Tigers for the game only made 2 of 11 three point attempts and were outrebounded 29-20.

Xavier Pinson and Kobe Brown combined for 19 points for the Tigers, who dropped to 4-and-2.

Mizzou faces Oklahoma in the consolation game tonight.

For the 14th time in 15 tries, the 22nd-ranked Missouri State Lady Bears were victorious on the road, this time grabbing a 74-66 victory Monday at a South Dakota club that sits just outside both major top 25 polls and atop College Insider’s mid-major rankings.

Alexa Willard shot a career-best 5-for-6 from beyond the arc on the way to a game-high 21 points, Jasmine Franklin tallied her ninth career double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds, and Brice Calip added 12 points, seven rebounds and five assists, as the Lady Bears (6-1) made 20 free throws in the second half to hold off the previously unbeaten Coyotes (5-1) and end USD’s 15-game home win streak.

Two early 3-pointers from Willard and another from Mya Bhinhar helped the Lady Bears build an 11-6 lead less than four minutes after the tip, and after USD tied the score at 11, the MSU defense held the Coyotes to two field goals over the next 10 minutes of game time.

In the interim, Calip beat the first quarter buzzer with a trey for 22-13, and Willard’s jumper built the lead to 26-15 with 8:18 until half. Sydney Manning’s deep 3-pointer with 4:49 on the clock made it 29-18, but Monica Arens’ fourth trey of the half sparked a strong closing run for the Coyotes, who took advantage of a 3-for-14 shooting quarter from the Lady Bears to cut the halftime gap to 31-27.

The Lady Bears lived at the foul line in the third period, going 12-for-16 at the stripe to push the lead to 53-40 after USD closed to the margin to 31-29 out of the break, and it was 58-43 after Willard buried a trey and Emily Gartner followed with a basket to open the fourth quarter.

The Coyotes ripped off an 8-0 run in less than two minutes for 58-51 and the teams traded buckets on the next five possessions for a 64-55 MSU lead on Franklin’s putback with 3:23 left. From there, the Lady Bears led by at least six points the rest of the way, mixing in Sydney Wilson’s press-breaking layup with eight free throws in the final 1:52 to seal the victory.

Missouri State shot 45 percent in the contest, extending its streak to seven straight games above 40 percent, and 8-for-16 from beyond the arc. The Lady Bears led 38-31 on the glass and had 14 assists against 13 turnovers.

The MSU defense held South Dakota to 32.6 percent shooting on 2-pointers and 35 percent overall.

After a daunting November road schedule, the Lady Bears will play at JQH Arena four times in December, beginning with home games against Kansas City on Dec. 1 and Wichita State on Dec. 4.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas Photo by Bill Greenblatt/UPI

Anibal Sanchez threw seven-and-two-thirds of one-hit baseball as the Nationals beat the Cardinals 2-0 in Game One of the National League Championship Series in St. Louis.

Howie Kendrick knocked in a run in the seventh and scored on a Yan Gomes double in the second.

Sean Doolittle nailed down the final inning and a third for the Nats for the save.

Miles Mikolas gave up a run on seven hits while striking out seven over six for St. Louis.

Pinch hitter Jose Martinez hit a ball into center with two-strikes to break up the no-hitter in the eighth.
