The Razorbacks surrendered a season high in points.Missouri finished 17-0 at home for its second unbeaten slate in five years. The Tigers shot 58 percent in the first half and 57 percent the rest of the way.Emotions ran high all evening long inside Mizzou Arena and seemed to boil over at one point in the first half when cameras caught Frank Haith being restrained by his assistant coaches while shouting in the direction of Anderson. Anderson flashed a smirk in return. The two also shared a rather animated exchange during the post-game handshake, but when talking to media after the game, the two termed the encounters a “miscommunication.”Mizzou closes the season on the road Saturday against Tennessee.
