Following a thrilling victory over No. 4 Alabama, Missouri basketball coach Dennis Gates took proactive measures to prevent a court storming incident by the fans. The Tigers secured a 110-98 win in front of a packed crowd of 15,061 at the Mizzou Arena on Wednesday night.
During the final moments of the game, with just 1.5 seconds remaining, Gates called a timeout and addressed the audience through the public address system, urging them to refrain from rushing the court. He emphatically stated, 'Please, do not rush the court! Please, do not rush the court!' This move was in stark contrast to a previous game against then-No. 1 Kansas, where a court storming incident occurred.
