Watch Caleb Grill beat 1st half buzzer to extend Missouri basketball lead vs Mississippi State
You can’t keep him cold all day.
Missouri basketball senior and sharpshooter Caleb Grill beat the first-half buzzer to give Mizzou a five-point 39-34 lead over Mississippi State in a second-round matchup of the SEC Tournament on Thursday night at Bridgestone Arena.
Missouri led for much of the first half, but Grill had not scored a single point. The 42.3% shooter from 3-point range this season had taken four attempts from behind the arc and missed them all.
No. 5 broke the brief slump.
The Tigers held on for the final shot of the first half, holding a two-point lead when Tony Perkins started to drive to the basket before kicking it out to Grill on the left wing.

The Tigers are the 7-seed in the SEC Tournament, attempting to break a slump that saw them lose three straight games to close the regular season.
No 10-seed Mississippi State beat 15-seed LSU 91-62 in the first round of the tournament on Wednesday night.
Before Grill’s triple sent Mizzou into the locker room with a healthier cushion, guard Tamar Bates and Perkins did a bulk of MU’s scoring with 12 and 8 points, respectively.
The Tigers have looked much more impressive defensively against MSU than in recent matchups, holding the Bulldogs to a 21.4% mark from 3-point range.
