The legend of Jordan Geist has come to an end.
After scoring a career-high 30 points in 12th-seeded Missouri’s win over Georgia on Wednesday night, he had 25 in a 81-71 loss to No. 5 seed Auburn in the second round of the SEC Tournament. Missouri ends its season at 15-17, barring a postseason invite to a lower-tier tournament. Auburn (23-9) will play fourth-seeded South Carolina in the SEC quarterfinals on Friday.
Geist was Missouri’s lone offensive sparkplug throughout the first half, scoring a game-high 13 in the opening half. Missouri and Auburn kept pace despite Geist getting little help on offense.
