(AP) -- Laurence Bowers had 24 points and 11 rebounds in his final home game, contributing to a rough evening for old coach Mike Anderson's first appearance as a visitor and helping Missouri finish unbeaten at home with a 93-63 rout over
Arkansas on Tuesday night.


Fellow senior Jabari Brown helped finish off the Razorbacks early with 13 of his 23 points in a dominant first half with the Tigers (22-8-11-6 SEC) leading 48-22.

The third senior, Alex Oriakhi, had 10 points and eight rebounds and topped 1,000 career rebounds.


BJ Young had 27 points for Arkansas (18-12, 9-8), which shot just 31 percent in the first half while going 1 for 15 from 3-point range.

Missouri finished 17-0 at home for its second unbeaten slate in five years.

The Tigers shot 58 percent in the first half and 57 percent the rest of the way.
