COLUMBIA (AP) -- Marcus Denmon scored 21 points and freshman Phil Pressey had 15 points and 11 assists to lead No. 13 Missouri to a 116-63 win over Central Arkansas.

Ricardo Ratliffe added 18 points for the Tigers (10-1), who set a Mizzou Arena record for points in a game. The previous record of 107 had been achieved twice in the last two seasons.

Missouri, which shot 66 percent from the floor, opened the game with a 15-2 run and put up a season-high 54 points in the first half.

Mike Pouncey scored 11 points for the Bears (3-8), who were without starting guard Dewan Clayborn, who was sidelined beause of an ankle injury.

The win pushes Missouri's non-conference home win streak to 54, with all but seven of those coming under Anderson. The 10-1 start is the Tigers' best in Anderson's five seasons as coach.
