Last Meeting ( Dec 5, 2014 ) Missouri 63, Oklahoma 82

Missouri was unable to get a win in front of a largely partisan crowd at the Hall of Fame Classic on Monday, but gets another opportunity to satisfy its local fans against Oklahoma in Tuesday's consolation game at Kansas City, Mo. The Tigers had season lows in made 3-pointers (two) and made free throws (six) in a 63-52 semifinal loss.

Junior guard Dru Smith scored 19 points on 8-of-13 shooting but none of his teammates scored more than 10 and Missouri couldn't recover from an early 18-point hole. "We dug ourselves such a hole in the first half," Tigers coach Cuonzo Martin told the media. "We initially didn't do a great job ... defending the ball screen." The Sooners shot a season-low 37.7 percent in dropping a 73-54 decision to Stanford in the other semifinal. Junior guard Austin Reaves scored a team-high 17 points for Oklahoma, which averaged 79.8 points during its 5-0 start.
