The sequence of events which led Mizzou from looking at a “close, but no cigar” road loss to the biggest win of the season was just truly bizarre.
After getting out to a lead as big as 17 points, Mizzou watched as Tennessee went nuclear from outside the arc and bombed (and made like a LOT of FTs) their way back into the game and an eventual 6 point lead with just over 4 minutes to play. But the Tigers would never let the Vols get away. They clung in the game.
Tennessee had a three point lead with 1:15 to play.
