Mizzou takes title in Cancun - Missouri 83, La Salle 71 - Denmon scores 21 points to lead the No. 11 Tigers.

_______________________________________________________

Marcus Denmon had hoped to shed the sixth-man role he had filled so effectively in his first two seasons at Missouri.

But when the Tigers got off to a slow start in the first three games of the season, coach Mike Anderson decided to shuffle things up, and that meant Denmon was back to being a reserve when they tipped off against La Salle on Wednesday night in the championship of the Cancun Challenge.

It seemed to suit Denmon just fine. The junior guard scored a season-high 21 points to lead No. 11 Missouri to an 83-71 victory over the Explorers at Aventura Spa Palace.
