COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Matt Lawrence scored 15 points to lead five Missouri players in double figures as the Tigers beat Arkansas-Pine Bluff 95-41 on Tuesday night.

DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons added 13 each for the Tigers (6-1) before going to the bench early in the second half as Missouri built a comfortable lead. Kim English also scored 13 and Marcus Denmon added 11.

Tyree Glass led Arkansas-Pine Bluff (0-6) with 10 points as the Golden Lions shot 27 percent from the field.

Missouri jumped out to a 22-4 lead 10 minutes into the game and dominated throughout, forcing a season-high 28 turnovers.
