(AP) -- Kim English had 19 points to lead six Tigers in double figures and No. 21 Missouri dominated No. 20 California 92-53 on Tuesday night to win the CBE Classic.
Marcus Denmon added 18 points and was the tournament's Most Valuable Player.
Matt Pressey had 13 points and Michael Dixon finished with 11 for the Tigers (5-0), who won the event just a couple hours' drive from their campus in Columbia for the second time in four appearances.
Missouri built a 45-26 lead by halftime and the outcome wasnever in doubt over the final 20 minutes, with coach Frank Haith pulling his starters with a few minutes left in the game.
Jorge Gutierrez scored 11 points to lead Cal (4-1), but fouled out with 11:12 remaining.
Richard Solomon also fouled out with more than 7 minutes left and finished with nine points.
The Tigers used relentless man-to-man, half-court pressure to force the guard-oriented Golden Bears into a plethora of early turnovers, and the result was a lot of easy points.
