The last time Oregon went on the road to a Big XII team, the Ducks were able to defeat Kansas State in overtime. But on Saturday, the Ducks were not so fortunate.
The game started with a Drew Wiley turnover and that was a sign of things to come as the Missouri Tigers blew out the Ducks 106-69.
Marcus Denmon came off the bench to lead the Tigers with 17 points as Missouri was on fire from the field all night long. The Tigers hit of 37 of their 64 shots (58 percent). Malcolm Armstead led the Ducks with 12 points. LeKendrick Longmire and Jamil Wilson each added 11 for Oregon.
The second half was a bit better offensively for the Ducks as they scored 45 points, but the Tigers put the game away early as it went into the locker room at halftime up 53-24.
Tajuan Porter ankle injury limited his playing time. The senior from Detroit was on the floor for just six minutes and did not score. Oregon hit only four three-pointers, while the Tigers hit 14 threes on 29 attempts.
Missouri managed to get six players in double figures. Zaire Taylor added 16 while Kim English and Lawrence Bowers each score 14.
Oregon plays the rest of the non-league schedule in the friendly confines of Mac Court. Starting with St. Mary's visit next for a 1 pm tip-off.
