Tyler Tanner scored 27 factors for Vanderbilt (21-5, 8-5), which entered play having gained 5 of six. Devin McGlockton added 13 factors.

Vanderbilt’s Tyler Nickel hit a 3-pointer with two seconds remaining after Barrett hit a pair of free throws. Tanner then intercepted Mitchell’s inbound cross and heaved a half-court shot that rattled across the rim and bounced out.

Vanderbilt rallied after falling behind 66-45 with 8:43 remaining after McGlockton was known as for his second flagrant 1 foul. Tigers coach Dennis Gates used a problem to evaluation contact on a rebound on Vanderbilt’s offensive possession after Tyler Harris was known as for a foul on Mitchell as he tried a layup. Vanderbilt coach Mark Byington unsuccessfully challenged that Missouri’s Anthony Robinson II dedicated a flagrant foul on the identical play.

McGlockton was assessed his first flagrant with 10:39 remaining after taking down Stone with a two-handed shove on an inbound play.
