COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) _ Earnest Ross scored 15 points while surviving two spills,
helping No. 17 Missouri rebound from its biggest setback of the season with a
79-62 victory over Georgia on Wednesday night.
Alex Oriakhi had 13 points on perfect 5-for-5 shooting, eight rebounds and four
blocks for the Tigers (13-3, 2-1 SEC), who were held to a season-low 49 points
in a 15-point loss at Mississippi on Saturday. Their second game without leading
scorer Laurence Bowers, who has a sprained right knee, was a major improvement
for a team that's 10-0 at home this season and 26-1 at the Mizzou Arena in two
seasons under coach Frank Haith.
Vincent Williams had a career-best 23 points on 7-for-10 shooting for Georgia
(6-10, 0-3), nine more than his previous best after entering with a 4.1-point
average. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the Bulldogs' lone player averaging in double
figures, added 15 points.
