BOX SCORE
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- Preston Shumpert scored 28 points, including 22 in the second half, as Syracuse beat Missouri 84-62 in the championship game of the Great Alaska Shootout on Saturday night. Shumpert, the tournament MVP, made only two of his nine shots in the first half but scored 10 points in the first four minutes of the second. Kareem Rush hit three 3-pointers and scored 15 points in the first half for Missouri (3-1). But Rush picked up his fourth foul with 16:57 to go and Syracuse stretched a two-point halftime lead to 46-33 with 15:40 left. The Tigers closed to 46-41 on a steal and a dunk by Justin Gage, but the Orangemen quickly built the lead back to 61-47 with balanced scoring. Rush sat out more than seven minutes and picked up his fifth foul -- again guarding Shumpert -- with just under five minutes to play. The Tigers were hurt by poor second-half foul shooting and were just 13-of-21 from the line in the game. Syracuse (4-0) outrebounding the Tigers 45-32. Rush's 21 points led Missouri. Tajudeen Soyoye was the only other Tiger in double figures with 11. Allen Griffin had 20 and Damone Brown had 15 for the Orangemen. | ALSO SEE Mens College Basketball Scoreboard
