A game-tying three in regulation extended the Missouri-Vanderbilt game on Saturday to overtime. The Commodores were then able to hold off the Tigers in OT for their third straight win against a ranked opponent.

The 97-92 win for Vanderbilt was its 20th of the season, the second time in three seasons the Commodores have reached 20 wins.

The Tigers have now lost two of their last three games since putting up 110 points on No. 6 Alabama.

Caleb Grill led Missouri in scoring with 28 points off the bench. He was just 3-of-11 from three but went a perfect 7-of-7 at the free throw line.

Mark Mitchell scored 20 for the Tigers and both Tamar Bates and Anthony Robinson each added in 16 points.
