Missouri, down six with just over five minutes to play, regrouped and pulled themselves to within one of Arkansas.

Wes Clark, at the free throw line with 3.3 seconds remaining in regulation, clanked both and the Razorbacks defeated the Tigers 61-60, Saturday at Mizzou Arena.

The loss was the Tigers fifth in a row in SEC play.
