Arkansas led by one point after K.J. Walton made a 3-pointer for Missouri five minutes into the first half, but the Razorbacks began to pull away. They staged a 9-2 run to go up 18-10 on two free throws by Beard and took a 22-12 lead on a dunk by Macon.
The Tigers got within six on several occasions midway through the half, but a basket by Barford sparked a 17-2 run that put the Razorbacks up 44-23.
Missouri outscored Arkansas 11-4 to end the half, but the Razorbacks still carried a 50-36 lead into the locker room at the break.
Arkansas went up by 20 early in the second half and opened a 61-39 lead on two free throws by Hannahs. Missouri mounted a 13-3 run to cut the deficit to 12 on a layup by Geist, but the Razorbacks quickly pushed the lead back to 21.
The Tigers battled back once more to get within 11 on a basket by Puryear with just under six minutes remaining but couldn't get any closer.
Arkansas shot 55.9 percent from the floor and was 10 of 23 from 3-point range. Missouri shot just 38.6 percent from the field and was 9 of 26 from beyond the arc.
