The first bucket in Missouri’s comeback against Arkansas came out of late-clock necessity — and delivered by unlikely source.
For the most part, Sean East II’s night had been rather quiet, outside of a couple missed 3s in the first half. But with six minutes left, the ball reversed to the point guard at the top of the key. The point guard sized up Ricky Council IV, drove right, came to a jump stop and lofted a tear-drop floater that found the bottom of the net.
The bucket only narrowed MU’s deficit to seven, but its sputtering offense now had some starter in its engine.
