SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Missouri used a second-half scoring spurt from Kobe Brown to win its first NCAA Tournament game in 13 years, beating Utah State 76-65. Brown hit three 3-pointers in a span of just over three minutes to fuel a 13-2 run that turned a two-point deficit into a 62-53 lead. The seventh-seeded Tigers held on from there and ended a six-game tournament skid with their first win since beating Clemson in the first round in 2010. The 10th-seeded Aggies have dropped their last 10 tournament games since beating Ohio State in the first round in 2001.
