COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Missouri has so many options on offense that it isn't surprising when different players step up to help the Tigers keep winning.
Kim English scored 21 points and Michael Dixon added 15 on a day where Ricardo Ratliffe was held to just four points, leading lead No. 3 Missouri to a 71-62 win over Texas A&M on Saturday.
"Our offense is equal opportunity," English said. "That's the way coach (Frank) Haith drew it up. The go-to guy is the open man and fortunately they just made shots.
It was Missouri's 12th Big 12 win which ties a school record for most in a season.
Texas A&M cut the lead to five points on a 3-pointer by Elston Turner with 1:22 remaining. A turnover by Phil Pressey on the next play gave A&M the ball back.
David Loubeau had a chance to get A&M within three points, but he was called for an offensive foul when he knocked Steve Moore to the ground going up for the shot.
"Steve is really good at moving his feet and getting in position to make those plays," Haith said.
Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy seemed to think that it should have been a block on Moore instead of an offensive foul.
"I didn't know David could knock down a 6-9, 300-pound guy to be honest with you," Kennedy said. "We've got to get those kind of breaks against a very good Missouri team."
Denmon's 3 on the other end pushed the lead to 68-60 with 35 seconds left and his two free throws seconds later sealed the win for Missouri (25-2, 12-2).
