Stanley Umude scored 23 points and JD Notae added 17 as No. 23 Arkansas routed outmanned Missouri 76-57 Tuesday night in Columbia, Mo.

Jaylin Williams (13 points, 11 rebounds, four assists) and Trey Wade (12 points, 11 rebounds) also had strong games for the Razorbacks (20-6, 9-4 SEC), who won for the 10th time in their last 11 games.

Javon Pickett scored 13 points and DaJuan Gordon added 11 points for the Tigers (10-15, 4-8), who lost for the sixth time in their last eight games.

Missouri had just eight healthy players available for the game with Anton Brookshire (wrist), Yaya Keita (knee) and Jordan Wilmore (back) sidelined by injuries.

The Razorbacks buried the Tigers with a game-opening surge, as they did when they defeated Missouri 87-45 earlier this season in Fayetteville, Ark.

Back on Jan. 12 Arkansas raced to an early 26-3 lead. This time the Razorbacks ran out to a 19-4 lead to quickly seize control of the game.

Wade scored twice in the lane and Umude hit a pair of 3-point jumpers to get the Razorbacks going.

The Tigers stabilized briefly with a 10-3 run, with Gordon hitting two 3-pointers to cut their deficit to eight points.

But then Arkansas continued its onslaught while rolling to a 46-27 halftime lead.

The Razorbacks made 16 of 32 shots in the first half, including 7 of 14 shots from 3-point range. The Tigers turned the ball over eight times in the first 20 minutes and shot just 35.7 percent.

Pickett shot 5-for-7 in the half and the rest of the Tigers shot 5-for-21.

Missouri used a 9-0 run, with Gordon scoring five of the points, to cut the Arkansas lead to 57-46 with 7:59 to play.

But Notae and Umade hit back-to-back 3-pointers to push the lead to 17 points with 4:32 left, and the Razorbacks cruised from there.
