COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Mizzou men's basketball team improved to 3-0 on the season Sunday evening with a 82-53 win over Lindenwood.

Watch the full post-game press conference below.

Dennis Gates praised his team after the win for having their third straight game with over 20 assists.

"Three straight games with 20 assists is a great stat to have," Gates said. "It allows us to now continue what I truly believe is who we are and that's winning by committee. It's hard to scout a team when you don't know who will lead us in scoring."

The Tigers were led by the work done in the paint with nine dunks and 50 points.
