Missouri's desperation 3 at the buzzer bounced off the front of the iron as Ole Miss survived a late Tigers rally to win 91-88.
The Rebs led by eight with 18 seconds remaining, but an improbable Mizzou rally cut it to three. Jarvis Summers then stepped out of bounds while fielding an in-bounds pass to give Mizzou a chance at a game-tying 3 with 0.9 seconds remaining. Earnest Ross's attempt was short by no more than two inches.
But the real story, as it always is, was Marshall Henderson, who drained eight 3-pointers -- six in the first half alone -- and scored 29 points. Naturally, Twitter went ape shit. "Marshall Henderson" was trending for the majority of the game.
Instead of writing up a recap, I'll just let Twitter tell you the story in it's own words.
If warmups are any indication, Marshall Henderson is on. Just watched him make eight in a row.
