Mark Mitchell scored a game-high 22 points Thursday night and unbeaten Missouri pulled away from visiting South Dakota in the second half of a 102-68 nonconference win in Columbia.

Five other players reached double figures for the Tigers (6-0). Jevon Porter hit all nine of his field-goal attempts for a 19-point, 12-rebound double-double, while Jacob Crews added 15 points in a reserve role. Sebastian Mack chipped in 13, reserve Jayden Stone tallied 12 points and Anthony Robinson II contributed 11 points plus six assists.

Jordan Crawford scored 18 points to lead the Coyotes (3-3), which saw a three-game winning streak snapped. Isaac Bruns added 14 and Uzziah Buntyn came off the bench to hit for 10 points but South Dakota simply didn't have enough firepower or defense to pull off the upset.
