Haley Troup added 13 points with three 3-pointers while Ashton Judd scored 12 points before fouling out.

Alabama started strong in the first quarter, making five of its first seven shots, but soon went cold, missing the next six shots which allowed Missouri to get an early lead.

It was the Crimson Tide the rest of the way, however, as Alabama outscored Missouri in every quarter after the first.

A notable disparity were the points off of turnovers, which Alabama won 20-9. Alabama was ahead in a lot of categories, but the one area it struggled was bench scoring; Missouri led that category 20-6.
