COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Sean East scored 21 points, 13 in the second half, and Missouri blew open the game in the final 20 minutes, defeating South Carolina State 82-59 on Wednesday night.
With East leading the way, the Tigers shot 58% and scored 47 points after intermission. They finished the game at 53% from the field.
