The Tigers, who have lost five of their last six games, missed 20 of 25 shots from 3-point range.

Pickett scored nine first first-half points, and his 3-point play put the Tigers up 13-9.

Brown picked up his second personal foul with 7:42 left in the first half and went to the bench with Missouri leading 16-13. The Commodores took advantage of his absence and outscored the Tigers 14-6 for rest of the half to take a 27-22 lead.

Rodney Chatman, who scored 24 points Saturday against LSU, sparked a closing 9-0 run with a 3-point jumper and added a fast break layup.

Missouri went 0-for-11 from beyond the arc in the first 20 minutes but stayed within range by forcing eight Vanderbilt turnovers.

The Commodores pushed their lead to 32-24 when Myles Stute hit a 3-point jumper and Pippen scored in the paint.

With Vanderbilt up 49-38, the Tigers used a 17-5 run to take a 55-54 lead with 5:55 to play. Pickett converted two fast-break layups to trigger the turnaround.
