No. 17 Missouri vs. Georgia final score: Tigers cruise to 79-62 victory
The Tigers picked up an easy victory on Wednesday night.

A balanced scoring effort for Missouri was led by Jabari Brown. The midseason transfer finished with 15 points. Earnest Ross also added 15 points off the bench.
Missouri is still without leading scorer Laurence Bowers, who has missed the team's last two games with a sprained MCL. The first of those games was a 64-49 loss to Ole Miss.
The Tigers jumped out to a 38-30 halftime lead in this one and never looked back. Part of the reason for that was a defense that forced Georgia into 18 turnovers.
The loss is yet another disappointing result for Georgia, who now drop to 6-10 on the season. One of the lone positives in defeat was 23 points by Vincent Williams off the Georgia bench.
Missouri will have a much tougher test on Saturday when it will be on the road against Florida.
