Mizzou junior guard Xavier Pinson enters transfer portal

Missouri junior point guard Xavier Pinson has played his last game in a Tiger uniform.

The Chicago native entered the transfer portal this week, the program confirmed Tuesday to the Tribune.

Pinson finished as Missouri's second-leading scorer this season, averaging 13.6 points per game, and was one of three MU players to start all 26 contests.

His departure comes less than 72 hours after the Tigers' season ended in the first round of the NCAA Tournament with a 72-68 loss to Oklahoma.

Pinson played 18 minutes and was 1-for-7 from the field, including 0 of 3 from 3-point range, scoring only two points.
