COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Jordan Geist scored 18 points -- including a clutch 3-pointer at the end of regulation -- to lead Missouri to a 64-62 overtime victory over UCF on Sunday.
Javon Pickett added 13 points and Jeremiah Tilmon had 10 for Missouri (4-3). Tilmon's up-and-under layup around UCF's 7-foot-6 Tacko Fall with 1:32 left in OT provided the winning margin.
The Knights (6-2) had a chance to win it at the buzzer, but Collin Smith's desperation shot from just inside the halfcourt line hit the backboard and rimmed out.
