Close game flies away at the end

I've seen a few basketball games in my time but I'm not sure I've ever seen one that turned so quickly and so thoroughly in a period of 9.5 seconds.

After Illinois pulled to within a point at 62-61 on a 3-pointer by D.J. Richardson with 42.5 seconds to go Wednesday, Missouri scored eight unanswered points in a period of less than 10 seconds and won the 30th annual Braggin' Rights game 75-64 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
