Mizzou beats UCF in Orange Bowl Classic on wild buzzer-beating bank shot
Saturday’s contest between Mizzou and UCF basketball came down to the wire and could hardly have had a more thrilling finish in the 68-66 victory for the Tigers, who now improve to 10-1 on the season.
The team squeaked out the Orange Bowl Classic win with a buzzer-beating shot from senior guard DeAndre Gholston in the final moments of the game to keep Mizzou’s record nearly flawless to this point in the season outside od the single 95-67 loss to the Kansas Jayhawks on Dec. 10.
Here’s a look at the play:
