COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) Josh Hubbard scored 16 points, Tolu Smith III added 13 points and 11 rebounds and Mississippi State Bulldogs rolled to a 75-51 victory over Missouri Tigers on Saturday night.

Smith and Moore scored six points apiece as the Tigers shot 55% (17 of 31) from the floor and made five from long range in the second half.
Nick Honor scored 15 points and Tamar Bates added 11 for Missouri (8-16, 0-11), which has lost 11 in a row and 14 of its last 15.

Cameron Matthews scored all nine of his points for the Bulldogs, that included a pair of dunks, during the stretch and Moore made two 3-pointers.
