Tiger lead cut to two
Nebraska has reeled off six consecutive points since the last TV timeout, cutting Missouri's lead to two. The Tigers lead, 18-16, with 3:28 remaining in the first half.
The most telling stat thus far is the foul discrepancy. Missouri has seven fouls to Nebraska' four. Of Missouri's four primary guards at the one and two spots, J.T Tiller, Zaire Taylor and Miguel Paul all have two fouls. Marcus Denmon has none.
Missouri has been fortunate, as Nebraska has not shot well from the charity stripe. The Huskers are currently 2-of-7 from the line.
