While MPJ took spotlight, Jontay Porter helped keep Tigers going in loss to Georgia | The Kansas City Star

Jontay Porter made a name for himself other than "Michael Porter Jr.’s younger brother" this season as he helped lead Missouri to a likely NCAA Tournament bid while a potential return by Porter Jr. remained unclear.

And in Porter Jr.’s first game back in a Missouri uniform — a 62-60 loss to Georgia on Thursday in the SEC Tournament — the younger of the two brothers again helped keep Missouri afloat.

Jontay Porter scored 20 points and pulled down eight rebounds on 5-for-8 shooting, which included four threes in a game in which his brother routinely got ovations from everything to subbing in to drawing a foul.
