(AP) --  Marcus Denmon scored 10 of his 14 points in
the second half and No. 13 Missouri forced Kansas State into 24
turnovers in a 75-59 victory Monday night.

Phil Pressey added 13 points, including three 3-pointers, for
the Tigers (16-3, 2-2 Big 12). He's made seven of his last nine
from behind the arc in the last two games.

 The Tigers led by 15 at the half and surged late after the
Wildcats cut the gap to three with just over nine minutes to go.

Jacob Pullen had 16 points while Jordan Herniquez-Roberts added
14 for Kansas State (13-6, 1-3), which has dropped three of four.

The Wildcats were held scoreless for nearly five minutes in the
second half while Missouri put the game away with a 12-0 run that
featured a spectacular one-handed alley-oop dunk by Laurence Bowers
and led 70-55 with 3:50 to go.
