COLUMBIA, Mo. – Holding a 12-point lead under five minutes to play, TCU was unable to hold off No. 12 Missouri in a 102-98 overtime loss at Mizzou Arena Saturday in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.
TCU (9-7) was led in scoring by freshman point guard Mike Miles, who contributed a career-high 28 points, along with five assists and five rebounds. Chuck O'Bannon added 17 points, one shy of his season high, and shot 3-of-6 from three-point range. Missouri (11-3) was carried to victory by Jeremiah Tillman (33 points) and Xavier Pinson (36 points).
After a back-and-forth affair for most of the opening period, TCU connected on 9-of-10 field goals to take a 41-36 lead late in the first half and led 43-38 at the half.
TCU maintained its offensive momentum in the second half, stretching its lead to a game-best 12-point margin with 4:57 left in regulation. Miles had 18 points in the second half, followed by Nembhard who found his shot late in the game to record nine points down the stretch. However, Missouri found ways to hit big shots in the final four minutes of regulation, closing out the second half on a 17-9 run, including a game tying 3-pointer by Pinson, with just over three seconds left on the clock, ultimately forcing overtime.
Jaedon LeDee hit two free throws to give TCU a 98-97 lead with 52 seconds to play in overtime. The Tigers responded with a layup and held on for the win.
