Tigers lose lead, but recover to beat Army

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Kalen Grimes had career highs of 18 points and 11 rebounds, helping Missouri recover after blowing a 20-point lead to beat Army 67-58 on Saturday in the John Thompson Foundation Classic.

Stefhon Hannah hit his first six shots, four of them 3-pointers, and had 18 points. The Tigers (2-0), built to run under new coach Mike Anderson, won their second straight game in the season-opening tournament despite difficulties dealing with Army's structured game.

Missouri won despite getting only four points from Matt Lawrence, who had a career-high 27 on Friday in a 101-80 victory over North Carolina A&T. Lawrence was so well-covered by Army's patient team that he didn't get off a shot until launching an air ball to open the second half and didn't have a point until hitting a 3-pointer with 10:28 to go.

Grimes scored 10 points down the stretch after Army (0-2) had erased all of a 34-14 deficit, rallying to tie it at 42-42 behind Jarell Brown and Mike Bell with 13:47 to go.

Hannah, after his fast start, missed his last five attempts.

Brown had 20 points for Army, going 3-for-4 from 3-point range, and Bell had 17 while going 4-for-8 from long range. Chris Walker added 10 points and eight rebounds.
