COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) --- Jayden Stone had 19 points, Trent Pierce and T.O.
Barrett each added 16 and Missouri held off No. 19 Vanderbilt 81-80 on
Wednesday night after squandering a big lead.
Anthony Robinson II scored 13 points, and Mark Mitchell had 11 points and a
career-best nine assists for Missouri (18-8, 8-5 Southeastern Conference). The
Tigers have won four of five and improved to 9-0 against Vanderbilt in Columbia.
Tyler Tanner scored 27 points for Vanderbilt (21-5, 8-5), which entered play
having won five of six. Devin McGlockton added 13 points.
Vanderbilt's Tyler Nickel hit a 3-pointer with two seconds remaining after
Barrett hit a pair of free throws. Tanner then intercepted Mitchell's inbound
pass and heaved a half-court shot that rattled around the rim and bounced out.
Vanderbilt rallied after falling behind 66-45 with 8:43 remaining after
McGlockton was called for his second flagrant 1 foul. Tigers coach Dennis Gates
used a challenge to review contact on a rebound on Vanderbilt's offensive
possession after Tyler Harris was called for a foul on Mitchell as he attempted
a layup. Vanderbilt coach Mark Byington unsuccessfully challenged that
Missouri's Anthony Robinson II committed a flagrant foul on the same play.
McGlockton was assessed his first flagrant with 10:39 remaining after taking
down Stone with a two-handed shove on an inbound play.
