Nick Honor breaks down game-winning OT shot vs. Mississippi State

On Tuesday night, the Missouri Tigers and the Mississippi State Bulldogs went into overtime against one another. The game ended when Missouri’s Nick Honor hit a game-winning shot.

After the game, Honor broke down that shot. You can watch his shot, here.

“It felt good,” Nick Honor said. “I mean, I’m just glad we got to 20 wins. I know that was a team goal for us. So, it’s something that I try to work on. So, I’m just glad to see it finally pay off.”

Honor was then asked if there was a specific play called or if he was just playing within the flow of the game.

“Not really. It was kind of like a switch,” Nick Honor explained. “I got Tolu Smith on me, he kind of backed up a little bit because they’re really like a back-end team. So, I just had to trust my jump shot and it went in. So, it was good.”

Buzz Williams called Missouri’s scoring issues an anomaly

On Saturday, Missouri lost a tough game to Texas A&M. A large part of why the Tigers struggled in that game was because they struggled to score throughout the game. This was, according to Aggies head coach Buzz Williams, a statistical anomaly.

“I think it’s a statistical anomaly what happened, I told our guys that at halftime. It was a little better in the second half, not dramatically better,” Williams said.

“Fastest team in the league, eighth fastest team in the country, 44% of their shots have been from three in conference play, they’re second in the league in three-point field goal percentage, one of the lower turnover rates in the country, top 10 efficient offense in Division I, and we were feeding that at a very high rate.”
