The early rout is on
Kansas guard Sherron Collins moves around freshman guard Kim English toward the basket in the first half. Kansas led 45-19 at halftime.
Missouri and Kansas have retreated to their respective locker rooms, and the Allen Fieldhouse crowd saluted the Jawhawks off the floor with a standing ovation reaching over 103 decibels.
Right now, the crowd has no reason to quiet down. A Tyshawn Taylor last second three-pointer on Kansas' final possession of the half gave the Jayhawks a 45-19 halftime lead.
It's hard to decide what's uglier for Missouri right now - the numbers or the actual game. The Tigers are 8-of-39 (20.5 percent) from the field, 0-for-9 from 3-point range, and 3-for-9 from the free throw line.
Kansas, on the other hand, shot 44.4 percent from the free throw line and 56.3 percent from the field, including hitting 5-of-7 from deep.
Missouri has no bench points, and coach Mike Anderson appears to have benched starting freshman Kim English. Anderson was seen giving English an earful after an early foul near midcourt.
Anderson has his biggest coaching task ahead of him since the Tigers' loss to Kansas State. Missouri was able to survive a horrible first half against Kansas at Mizzou Arena, but the Tigers may have trouble pressing their luck in Allen Fieldhouse.
