COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The highly anticipated debut of Michael Porter Jr. was brief. The Missouri Tigers did just fine without him Friday night in a 74-59 victory over Iowa State in the season opener. Porter, considered one of the top two recruits in the nation, played just two minutes and scored two points before taking a seat on the bench with an ice pack on his left hip. A team spokesman said he “tweaked” the hip and was held out for the rest of the game as a precaution.

Kevin Puryear led Missouri with 17 points on 6-of-7 shooting.Nick Weiler-Babb led the Cyclones with 14 points, and Zoran Talley Jr. added 11.

After qualifying for the NCAA Tournament six straight years, the Cyclones are rebuilding with just one player — sophomore forward Solomon Young. ISU was picked ninth out of 10 teams in the Big 12 preseason coaches’ poll.

Iowa State makes its home debut Monday against Milwaukee.
