Missouri’s Keith Shamburger hit a go-ahead jumper with 12 seconds left to send Auburn to its fifth consecutive loss Tuesday, March 3, in Columbia, Missouri, 63-61.
Leading scorer KT Harrell scored 24 points, but his last-second 3-point attempt fell short. Missouri closed the game on a 9-0 run.
After the game was tied at 30 at halftime, Auburn led for much of the second half. Malcolm Canada hit a layup with 3:01 remaining to give the Tigers a 61-54 lead.
However, Auburn would not score another point, and Shamburger’s late jumper, which came after Missouri stripped Cinmeon Bowers, sealed the comeback victory.
Shamburger finished with 21 points, the same amount he scored in the game between these teams on Jan. 10.
T.J. Lang scored a season-high 13 points that included three 3-pointers.
The Tigers will look to close out the regular season with a win Saturday, March 7, when the Georgia Bulldogs come to the Auburn Arena. Tipoff is scheduled for 3 p.m.
