Missouri downs Lincoln in exhibition opener

COLUMBIA, Mo. - It was your typical exhibition basketball game.

Plenty of turnovers, poor shooting, just sloppy overall. Except for Sydney Crafton, who was just about perfect.

The senior Missouri guard, a former Jefferson City Lady Jay, scored 28 points on 11-of-12 shooting, including 1-for-1 from 3-point range and 5-of-7 from the free-throw line, in leading the Tigers past Lincoln 75-50 Tuesday night at Mizzou Arena.
