COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- DeNesha Stallworth scored 17 points and A'dia Mathies added 14 to help No. 6 Kentucky extend its school-record winning streak to 15 games with a 69-43 win over Missouri on Sunday.

The Wildcats (16-1, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) scored the first six points of the game and never trailed, winning their 16th game this season by at least 18 points.

Sydney Crafton led Missouri (12-6, 1-3) with 11 points and nine rebounds.

Stallworth's layup with 10:08 left in the first half gave Kentucky an early 23-4 lead. Missouri countered with the next nine points, but could get no closer, snapping their 11-game home winning streak.

The Tigers, who lead the country with 9.9 3-pointers per game, only made 2 of 20 attempts from behind the arc and shot 35.3 percent from the field.
