Missouri gets 22-0 start in 62-43 win
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Jessra Johnson had 15 points and three blocked shots and Missouri opened with a 22-0 run in a 62-43 win over Chicago State on Tuesday.
Shakara Jones added 13 points for the Tigers (9-4), who’ve won eight straight heading into their Big 12 opener on Saturday at home against No. 3 Texas A&M.
“I can’t say it was a beautiful game,” Missouri coach Cindy Stein said. “When our starters are in, we click.”
Courtney Waldon led Chicago State (8-8) with 16 points. Jasmin Dixon added 11 points and 11 rebounds.
The Cougars missed their first 13 shots and got their first points on two free throws by Laureen Pierson with 11:52 to go in the first half.
Chicago State finished at 22.6 percent from the field and also lost guard Alyssa Waldon to an apparent left knee injury early in the game.
