T.O. Barrett's career-high 28 points and Mark Mitchell's 23 led Missouri to a 73-69 upset over No. 22 Tennessee, improving their home record to 3-1 against ranked teams.

  • In an upset at Missouri's home court, the Tigers defeated No. 12 Tennessee 73-69 on Tuesday night, with T.O. Barrett scoring a career-high 28.
  • After early lead changes, Barrett dunked to finish a 14-3 run that gave Missouri a late first-half lead, before Tennessee guard Ja’Kobi Gillespie closed the period with five straight points.
