Despite watching his team struggle in the first half for the second consecutive game, Missouri coach Frank Haith remains encouraged.

We're not going to be where we're going to be in February." Missouri made just nine of its 39 attempts before the break and held a seven-point halftime advantage thanks to Phil Pressey's deep 3-pointer with three seconds left. But the 14th-ranked Tigers used an 18-3 run across halftime that blew the game open en route to a 91-54 win over Alcorn State on Tuesday night. read more: http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=323180142
