Two free throws by Kassius Robertson seemed to ice the game. The senior had been lights out during the last five games, averaging over 21 points, and that didn’t change on Saturday. “Kash Money” dropped 22 points, and the free throws, with 1:37 remaining, put Mizzou up 12 over Mississippi State.
Then things got strange. The Tigers gave up 17 consecutive points ... and then won anyway.
In the third-annual Rally for Rhyan game, MSU scored the final 12 points of regulation to force overtime, then scored the first five points of the bonus session as well.
