Carroll gets the roll

DeMarre Carroll must have an intimate relationship with the rim at the north side of Mizzou Arena. He first got the home-court bounce after chucking a line drive free-throw attempt that rolled in. Carroll then cut the KU lead to three by nailing a three-pointer that bounced two feet off the rim and in.

Missouri now trails 54-51 with just under five minutes remaining.
