Jason Crowe Jr. sets Missouri single-game freshman scoring record in 96-58 rout
of SIU Edwardsville
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) --- Jason Crowe Jr. scored a career-high 34 points, setting
Missouri's single-game freshman scoring record as the Tigers routed SIU
Edwardsville 96-58 on Monday night.
Crowe shot 11 of 16 from the field, made four 3-pointers and went 8 of 9 from
the free-throw line for Missouri (2-1). The 6-foot-4 guard also finished with
the most by a Tigers player since the 2023-24 season.
The performance was a sharp bounce back for Crowe, who shot 3 for 18 in
Missouri's 90-84 loss to Saint Louis. He scored from all three levels Monday,
hitting from deep, knocking down midrange jumpers and finishing around the
basket.
Crowe had 22 points by halftime as Missouri built a 48-24 lead. He reached 32
with 8:35 remaining on a four-point play to tie the freshman scoring record,
then broke it with a layup with 4:02 left.
Toni Bryant added 18 points and seven rebounds for Missouri, while Bryson
Tiller scored 11 and Jamier Jones had 10. The Tigers shot 58% from the field
and made 12 of their 23 3-pointers.
Dehrio McCaskill led SIU Edwardsville (2-2) with 11 points.
Missouri forced 14 turnovers and held the Cougars to 17% shooting from 3-point
range.
Missouri played nearly the entire game without Mark Mitchell, who left on the
Tigers' second possession with a facial injury and did not return.
