The Missouri Women's basketball team scored the most points in a game in school history as the Tigers rolled over Bradley, 126-55, on Sunday at Mizzou Arena. Mizzou made 16 of its first 18 shots from the field and built a 41-9 lead less than 10 minutes into the game.

Lianna Doty and Bri Kulas provided the early spark for Mizzou. Doty pestered the Braves defensively, converting two quick steals into easy layups in transition. The sophomore point guard also dished out four first-half assists, setting up Kulas and others for open shots. Doty finished with 14 points, five assists and five steals.

Bradley also had no answer for Kulas. The senior forward scored 26 of her game-high 27 points in the opening half. After burying two three-pointers in the first five minutes, Kulas powered her way inside for an offensive rebound and put back. Later in the half, she put together a 6-0 run by herself and pushed the Mizzou lead to 53-14 with just over six minutes remaining.

The Tigers controlled a 42-point advantage at the break. The team's 65 first-half points were the most in a half in school history. Mizzou shot better than 68 percent during that span in addition to an 8-of-8 effort from the free throw line.

Morgan Eye sunk three-pointers on back-to-back possessions to open up the second half and the Tigers kept pouring it on. Another Doty steal and layup gave them a 50-point cushion with 17:40 to play.

The Missouri bench capitalized on quality minutes, outscoring the Bradley reserves 60-14. Morgan Stock's fourth trey of the game gave the team its 100th point of the afternoon. Stock posted a career-high 21 points behind seven threes. Mizzou made 18 total shots from beyond the arc, but the Tigers dealt most of their damage in the paint, holding a 54-16 edge down low.

Missouri is now 9-1 on the season and 6-0 at Mizzou Arena. The Tigers will look to continue their hot shooting when they host Belmont after finals. The game tips off at 7 p.m. Dec. 16.
