For the 2nd time in less than a week, Zaire Taylor hit a game winning shot against a ranked Big 12 opponent. The first shot was a drive to the basket that resulted a in a traditional 3 point play that put MU ahead with 5.5 seconds left in a road victory against the Texas Longhorns. Last night Taylor hit an equally big 17 foot jump shot to break a 60-60 tie and possibly punch the Tigers ticket to the NCAA tournament with 1.3 seconds left. If you missed it, be sure to go back and read the exclusive Q&A session with Taylor.
