Charleston Southern came to Missouri with a losing record and one of the nation’s worst offenses. The Buccaneers left with a stunning 68-60 upset over the Tigers on Tuesday.
The Tigers (4-4) scored only three points in the first 10 minutes of the game, but forward Mitchell Smith scored 10 points in the last 10 minutes of the half to propel Missouri to a 28-23 lead at intermission.
Charleston Southern made 8 of 11 3-pointers in the second half, including two 3s by Duncan Lexander and one by Travis Anderson in the last 2½ minutes when Missouri rallied. After the Tigers came within 59-57 with 1:54 left to play, Lexander dropped a 3 as did Anderson on the next Charleston Southern possession.
The Tigers will play Temple on Saturday in Philadelphia.
