Tigers drop NCAA opener, Jayhawks fall at the buzzer
The Missouri Tigers Mens Basketball team had a short stay in the NCAA Tournament, as they dropped their first game to Miami (FL) 80 to 66 late last Friday evening in St Louis. The Tigers, who trailed by as many as 10 points in the first half, scored 9 straight to pull within 2726 at halftime, and then took a brief lead midway through the second half, before Miami went on an 11-0 run to basically put the game out of reach. Jayden Stone led Missouri with 21 points, while Mark Mitchell had 19 and Anthony Robinson 11 for Mizzou, who winds up 20-13 for the season. Malik Reneau led Miami with 24 points, while Tre Donaldson had 17 and Shelton Henderson 15.
