Tamar Bates had 29 points and five steals to help Missouri beat No. 1 Kansas 76-67 on Sunday afternoon at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, Missouri.

Mark Mitchell scored 17 points in Missouri’s first win over Kansas since a 74-71 victory on Feb. 4, 2012. Anthony Robinson II had 11 points and five steals for the Tigers (8-1), and Josh Gray grabbed a team-leading 10 rebounds.

Hunter Dickinson had 19 points and 14 rebounds and the Jayhawks (7-2) have lost two straight on the road after falling 76-63 against Creighton on Wednesday night.

“It’s amazing that we were still in the game as poorly as we played, but, you know, we did hang in there second half and cut it to two,” said Kansas head coach Bill Self. “I think it was probably a combination of them being good and us not being good. I think we got good enough players to win at a high level, but we have to be a unit.”

Missouri opened a 57-33 lead with 14:15 remaining on a jump shot from Tony Perkins. But the Jayhawks outscored the Tigers 30-8 over the next 11:55.

Bates scored 18 to help Missouri to a 39-25 lead at the break. The Tigers then opened the second half with a 16-6 run.
