Missouri allowed a deep 3-point shot from Notre Dame with just 17 seconds remaining to seal a 76-71 win for the Fighting Irish over the Tigers.

The game was tied at 69 with 44 seconds remaining after both teams exchanged made free-throws at the start of the final minute.

Notre Dame held the ball to set up the game-sealing shot for guard Markus Burton. Missouri raced down the court to attempt one of its own, but forward Jacob Crews’ desperation shot missed.

The Tigers fouled for a last-ditch effort, but the Fighting Irish made both of those shots.

Notre Dame took a hot start to the half thanks to true freshman guard Jalen Haralson, a five-star prospect out of high school. He scored 13 points and grabbed three rebounds, but fouled out with 6:15 remaining.

That didn’t stop Notre Dame from being able to keep up with Missouri’s offense late though. The Fighting Irish made three 3-point shots in the final five minutes to make for the close finish.

Missouri’s best offensive moments came from Crews, who made 5 of his 9 3-point attempts.

Two of those deep makes from Crews were a part of a 11-0 scoring run for Missouri in the second half that put the Tigers back ahead after falling behind once Notre Dame went on a 11-0 scoring run of its own.

Missouri led 40-33 at the half, but Notre Dame's defense had much more answers for Missouri in the second half. In the first half, Missouri was able to rely on the efforts of Mark Mitchell and Crews.

Those two combined for 68% of the Tigers' points on the game, with Mitchell scoring 26 and Crews adding 22. The lack of production from the other parts of Missouri's offense became evident in the second half.

Missouri will next play against No. 21 Kansas in Kansas City.
