Arkansas had no answer for the inside play of No. 11 Missouri in an 88-54 loss on the road Sunday.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Arkansas had no answer for the inside play of No. 11 Missouri as the Razorbacks fell, 88-54, in Southeastern Conference action on the road on Sunday.
Big scoring runs by Missouri (17-2, 5-1 SEC) were possible behind good play by the Tigers in the paint. Undersized, Arkansas (11-9, 2-5 SEC) got into foul trouble early and was unable to overcome the deficit.

Three players scored in double figures for Arkansas paced 14 points each from Jailyn Mason and Kiara Williams. Malica Monk scored in double figures for the 19th game this season with 11 points.
