The Tigers defensive pressure also got them in the record books. Thanks to their 34 forced turnovers against the North Florida Ospreys in a 96-58 victory.
Additionally, according to ESPN.com Head Coach Mike Anderson challenged his team to hold North Florida scoreless for the rest of the game, and that is exactly what Missouri was able to do ending the game on a 24-0 run.
The Tigers defense is very aggressive, and hard to grasp for any team. They are always in your face, fast agile, and can track the ball down fast.
Most of their offense comes from the defensive end and no one has been able to slow down the tough defense of the Tigers.
Granted, it was North Florida, but anytime a team shows dominance by shutting any team out in the final seconds of the game needs to be noted.
Mizzou had a balanced attack with five players in double figures, led by Marcus Denmon's 18 points.
Ricardo Ratliffe chipped-in 16, Kim English had 13, Laurence Bowers finished with 12, and Michael Dixon had 11.
North Florida finished with two players in double-figures. Parker Smith finished with a team-high 17, while Matt Sauey chipped in 14.
