I had the pleasure of being in attendance at that one.

Nov. 18, 1998 -- Columbia, Mo. (Chase NIT)
Kevin Ault scored 20 points last Wednesday as Southwest Missouri State beat Missouri 72-69 in the opening round of the preseason NIT and broke the Tigers' 28-year winning streak against other Missouri schools. The Tigers hadn't lost to an in-state opponent since Dec. 8, 1970, when they were beaten 79-70 by St. Louis. The Bears went up 70-68 when Ken Stringer hit two free throws with 1:55 remaining. Missouri, which trailed 49-38 with just over 18 minutes left, fought back behind 14 second-half points from forward Albert White and tied the game at 68 with 2:38 on two free throws by Johnnie Parker. Parker's free throws followed eight straight points by White. White's 18 points and 11 rebounds led Missouri, which missed two 3-point tries in the final 4 seconds. Southwest Missouri, which went on a 7-0 run to start the second half, took an 11-2 lead early in the game. Missouri, sparked by Brian Grawer and freshman Kenyon Dooling, fought back and took 21-20 lead just before the midpoint of the first half. Grawer hit two 3-pointers and scored eight points in a 12-2 run, and Dooling - who had not been expected to play because of a hip injury - started the surge with a pair of free throws and a breakaway dunk.
