COLUMBIA, Mo., Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Laurence Bowers led Missouri on a big run late in the first half Thursday and the 12th-ranked Tigers went on to defeat Oral Roberts 81-62.

Oral Roberts had a three-point lead with 7:20 to go in the opening half before Missouri closed the period on a 20-4 run.
Dominique Morrison scored 18 points for Oral Roberts (4-6).
