Basketball Preview: Will Hilton Magic cast its spell on Missouri?
Jeffrey Becker-USA TODAY SportsThe last time Missouri crossed the threshold at Hilton Coliseum, its magic, aura, spell, voodoo or whatever you might call it, nearly spoiled the Tigers’ farewell tour of the Big 12.
After muddling through the first half, Scott Christopherson’s halfcourt heave banked in, staking ISU a three-point lead at the break. Yet MU sloughed off its malaise, retook a four-point lead and brushed back Fred Hoiberg’s squad for another 10 minutes. Marcus Demon’s four free throws over the final 21.2 seconds helped cement the victory over six years ago.
