Mizzou edges Kansas on last-second shot

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/09/2009 - Columbia, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Zaire Taylor hit the game-winning jumper with 1.3 seconds left to help 17th-ranked Missouri deal No. 16 Kansas its first conference loss of the season with a 62-60 victory over the Jayhawks.

Taylor finished with seven points for the Tigers (21-4, 8-2 Big 12), who have won four straight games. DeMarre Carroll chipped in 22 points and seven rebounds while Leo Lyons scored 13 points in the triumph.

Tyshawn Taylor scored 11 points for the Jayhawks (19-5, 8-1), who saw their eight-game win streak halted. Sherron Collins, Mario Little and Travis Releford each gave nine points in defeat, and Cole Aldrich totaled eight points and a game-best 15 boards.

Trailing by three late in the contest, J.T. Tiller was fouled and hit 1-of-2 at the stripe to cut it to 58-56.

Following an 0-for-2 performance by Collins at the line, Lyons was fouled going for a dunk and hit both to tie it at 58 with 90 ticks left to play.

Collins then missed a layup which led to Tiller draining a jumper to give the Tigers the lead, 60-58. Little, though, nailed a jumper at the other end to tie it with 29 seconds showing on the clock.

Following a timeout, Lyons hit Zaire Taylor who drove the lane, found his spot on the right wing, pump-faked and dropped in a jumper with the ball bounding high off the rim before falling through to give the Tigers the lead with 1.3 seconds left.

Kansas still had time and launched the ball downcourt to Aldrich, whose last- second effort failed to drop in.

Carroll's layup gave the Tigers an 11-10 lead with just under 12 minutes left in the first half.

However, Collins responded with a layup of his own to set the tone for a 12-2 Jayhawks surge. Tyrel Reed closed it out with a three-pointer to give the visitors a 22-13 advantage with 7:59 showing on the clock.

Kansas kept pushing and eventually opened a 30-16 lead at the break. Missouri hadn't scored fewer than 18 points in any half this season.

Kim English scored the first four points of the second half igniting a 10-4 Tigers run that got the home team back within 34-26 just over three minutes in to the second half.

Then, down by 11 late in the game, Carroll's layup sparked an 8-0 run that cut it to 54-51. English kept it going with a layup before Carroll scored the next five points to close out the run with 5:37 left.

Game Notes

Kansas still owns a 166-94 series lead over Missouri, and the Jayhawks won both meetings a year ago...Both schools had shooting woes over the first 20 minutes, as Kansas was 12-of-33 (36.4 percent) from the field and 2-of-12 (16.7 percent) from three-point range. Missouri hit 7-of-29 (24.1 percent) from the field and went 1-for-10 (10 percent) from behind the arc...The Jayhawks play at Kansas State on Saturday while the Tigers host Nebraska on Saturday.
