Xavier Pinson picked up his third foul with 6:09 remaining in the first half of Missouri’s (10-11, 2-6 SEC) matchup with South Carolina (13-8, 5-3 SEC) on Saturday. It was a big deal.
Why? Because for almost the entirety of the half, he was really the only thing working offensively for Missouri.
Pinson hit a 3-pointer at the 16:22 mark. Then another at the 13:33 mark. Then another at the 7:24 mark. He was 3-for-3 from deep in the first 13 minutes of the game, but in that same time frame, those were the only baskets the Tigers made.
