COLUMBIA, MO -- Phil Pressey scored a career high 26 points and Laurence Bowers chipped in 16 as No. 12 Missouri survived a 66-64 decision against a 13-win Bucknell squad to close out non-conference play Saturday afternoon at Mizzou Arena.

Mizzou knew it was in for a battle Saturday and the Mizzou Arena faithful were treated to a back-and-forth affair. The Bison (13-3) had already won six road games this season, including a 70-65 win at Purdue, but the Tigers made enough plays down the stretch to earn the key non-league win.
