The Missouri Tigers rallied from a ten-point first-half deficit last night to win a huge game over #12 Oklahoma State at the Hearnes Center 72-69. Rickey Paulding led the way in this one with 21 points and five rebounds. Forward Arthur Johnson who finished with 18 points and 14 rebounds joined Paulding in double figures. Those two big nights helped offset two awful shooting nights by the Tigers top two scorers. Kareem Rush and Clarence Gilbert shot a combined 6 for 28 last night, scoring 16 points total. Missouri improves to 20-9 overall with the win; they are now 9-6 in the Big 12. The Tigers wrap-up the regular season on Sunday with a home game against #1 Kansas.
