Early in the second half Sunday, Missouri found itself needing to halt Seton Hall’s momentum. Breakdowns on back-to-back possessions gifted the Pirates open and unhurried 3-pointers that stretched their lead to seven.
So, MU applied a familiar tourniquet: it called a pistol set involving Sean East II, Tamar Bates, and Noah Carter.
Run on the left side of the T-Mobile Arena floor, Bates dribbled into a ball screen set in the left slot, followed by Carter drifting more than rolling to the block. Unable to turn the corner and assault the paint, Bates reversed the ball to East, who pinged an entry pass to Carter.
