COLUMBIA — At the end of a pregame shootaround before the start of the Missouri men's basketball team's game Wednesday against Colorado, Zaire Taylor slowly separates himself from his teammates. He quickly turns and runs toward the visiting team's bench, more than five feet away from the 3-point line. A manager instinctively delivers a crisp pass to Taylor’s chest. With a flick of his wrist, Taylor swishes the ball through the net. The student section cheers.
