Jordan Barnett’s short memory helps Missouri beat Kentucky

In the second half of Missouri’s 69-60 win over No. 21 Kentucky, junior forward Kevin Puryear found senior wing Jordan Barnett in the corner, in front of the Mizzou bench.

Barnett tried for a three but the ball rimmed out. Puryear grabbed the offensive rebound and then hit Barnett on a back cut for a wide open dunk, extending Missouri’s lead to 46-38 and sending Mizzou Arena into mayhem.

The dunk was part of Barnett’s 12 points in the second half, as the St. Louis native finished with a team-high 16 points in the Tigers’ first win over the Wildcats.
