The Missouri Tigers came away with another win over a highly ranked team on Tuesday. In a road game they were expected to lose, the Tigers ended up with a 83-82 win over the No. 5 Florida Gators.

While the game had many key moments in the long-fought win, there was one play that stood out amongst the rest. It stood out enough to earn the no. 6 in SportsCenters Daily Top 10.

The Tigers put the ball into the hands of sophomore guard Trent Pierce, who then drove through two Florida players and slammed in a dunk on his own.

Pierce has gotten increased minutes in the 2024-25 campaign and has been a frequent member of the starting lineup. The sophomore's height has helped the Tigers out-rebound their opponents in the current season.
