No. 5 Florida to test Missouri perfection

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Three more wins and Missouri has a perfect home season. Nothing like a little top 10 competition to test that dominance.

SEC-leading Florida comes to town Tuesday night and the memory of the 31-point rout last month in Gainesville, Fla., is still fresh in the memory bank for the Tigers. The fifth-ranked Gators are coming off another 31-point rout at Auburn, too.

Missouri (18-7, 7-5 SEC) is 1-5 on the road, but 14-0 at Mizzou Arena, beating Alabama by 16, Georgia by 17 and Mississippi by 18 in conference play.

The road does not seem to bother Florida (21-3, 11-1), which led by 25 at halftime at Auburn on Saturday behind a season-best 15 3-pointers.
