DeAndre Gholston worked down the court, launched a 3-pointer from the bottom of the logo and drilled a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer to shock No. 6 Tennessee.
“The team kind of looked at me and said, ‘make something happen,’” Gholston said.
Gholston’s buzzer-beater, his second of the season, helped the Missouri Tigers (19-6, 7-5 SEC) avoid a complete second-half collapse to the Tennessee Volunteers (19-6, 8-4) at Thompson-Boling Arena.
The Vols mounted a 17-point comeback in the second half behind graduate guard Tyreke Key, who tallied 21 of his team-high 23 points in the second half alone.
