There was 7.8 seconds remaining.
Illinois State led by two and was about to inbound the ball. Missouri State junior Keandre Cook tipped the ball and it was knocked towards center court, where nine of the 10 players scrambled for the ball.
Senior Jarred Dixon emerged with the ball with 1.7 seconds left on the clock.
Dixon took two dribbles and launched a shot from half court as the clock hit zero.
“As soon as I let it go, I was like, ‘this has a chance to bank in or bank out,’” Dixon said in the press conference after the game.
