Slaughter cashed in from deep and gave Mizzou a one-point lead with under two minutes remaining in the period. Seton Hall responded and took a four-point lead, but Resima recorded a layup and Dowell raced the floor to beat the buzzer as the quarter closed with the score even at 52-52.<\/p>\n
Spearheaded by Slaughter and Reisma, the Tigers began the fourth on an 11-2. Reisma drove to the paint for a pair of buckets which were followed by a clutch 3-pointer from Slaughter.
