COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Mark Mitchell scored 19 points, Missouri did not allow a point in the final two minutes, and the Tigers defeated Vanderbilt 75-66 on Saturday.
Missouri led all the way but an 8-0 run by Vanderbilt got the Commodores within 61-60 with 5 1/2 minutes to left in the game. The Tigers did not surrender the lead and a layup by Caleb Grill gave them a 68-63 lead with 2 1/2 minutes remaining. At 2:11, Vanderbilt’s Jason Edwards made three free throws to make it 68-66 but the Commodores did not score again.
Grill made three free throws of his own to make it 71-66 with 1:52 left and Mitchell’s three-point play at 1:20 made it an eight-point game. He made one of two free throws with 29 seconds left to wrap up the scoring.
Anthony Robinson II had 15 points and eight assists for Missouri (13-3, 2-1 SEC). Grill scored 13 points and Josh Gray grabbed 11 rebounds.
