Freshmen Hughes and Jackson help Missouri beat Alabama A&M
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri guard Frankie Hughes will likely never forget his first game in a Tiger uniform.
Hughes had 23 points, tying Steve Stipanovich’s Missouri record for the highest scoring total by a freshman in a debut, as the Tigers beat Alabama A&M 99-44 on Sunday night.
Hughes had 16 points on 6-of-7 shooting in the second half and hit 9 of 14 field goals overall. He said he was unaware of his record-tying performance.
