Mark Mitchell, a former two-year Duke basketball player, led Missouri to a big home win.
Mark Mitchell, a member of Jon Scheyer’s first recruiting class as Duke basketball coach, scored a career-high 31 points to lead the No. 15-ranked Missouri Tigers (20-6, 9-4 SEC) to a 110-98 home victory against the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide (21-5, 10-3 SEC) on Wednesday.
In 32 minutes against the Crimson Tide, the 6-foot-8 junior forward from Kansas went 11-for-15 from the field, 1-for-3 from beyond the arc, and 8-for-12 from the charity stripe. He contributed three rebounds and three assists.
Mitchell’s performance came one week after he scored 25 points in an 82-58 home victory over the Oklahoma Sooners.
Mitchell, a former five-star prep, is averaging 13.6 points in 26 games as a full-time starter in his first year with the Tigers, two points better than his Duke basketball sophomore season last season, along with 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 steals.
He is one of seven 2023-24 Blue Devils that left Durham last year.
