It was far from Mizzou men’s basketball’s prettiest outing of the season, but the Tigers did enough to pick up their sixth consecutive win of the season with a 81-61 defeat of Lindenwood. MU’s shining stars of the night were Marques Warrick and Tony Perkins.

Aidan Shaw flooded the paint and soared through the air to deliver a put-back dunk, following a missed right-wing 3-pointer from Jacob Crews, to give the Missouri men's basketball a 30-25 lead with 2:49 left in the first half.
