When Missouri struggled to pull away from Central Missouri early in the second half on Friday, freshman center Reed Nikko provided a helping hand.
Well, two hands actually.
With the game tied early in the second half, Nikko came off the bench and slammed home a powerful two-handed dunk. He followed it up with a three-point play shortly after.
Not bad for a freshman who was limited for most of the offseason after undergoing dual hip surgery.
“They probably didn’t know, and I didn’t know Reed was going to come out like that,” freshman Willie Jackson said.
