Missouri forward Ricardo Ratliffe had a career-high 27 points to go along with eight rebounds as the Tigers beat Baylor. Ratliffe was 11-for-14 from the field.
Ratliffe did most of his damage on offensive put backs and beautiful passes from his guards. At times, it looked like the Baylor front line had either forgotten he was on the court or that the 6-foot-8 senior was wearing a cloak of invisibility. The nation's leading field goal shooter picked a nice game to have his career high.
