I a situation almost identical to ours, Missouri hits a three at the buzzer to beat the Viles 86-85. With a 2 point lead, Viscovy misses a free throw, there is a foul on his second so Missouri gets the ball with just over 4 seconds. They drive the floor and throws up a three that rips. Tennessee get the L.
This may be unpopular, but I'd prefer they keep winning at a high clip. Helps our case should we put ourselves in a position to make a run at the tournament. Need quality wins.

I second that. But if nothing else, it shows how strong our conference really is.
My wife and I went to the movies last night. I’d been keeping tabs on the score on my phone and when we entered the theater ESPN had UT up by 2 with time expired in the second half. “Oh well,” I thought.
What a pleasant surprise to come out and receive a highlight notification of Mizzou’s buzzer beating game winner! Poor UT…twice in the same week.
I must say, though. I was at the game in 2F, so largely filled with UT fans. Those around me were very gracious. Interacted with some at halftime cheering on Red Panda. And one I hadn’t interacted with at all turned around and offered a handshake and congratulated us on the win after Ty’s buzzer beater. So, they aren’t all bad!
