Mizzou takes lead with under minute to play

No tags for this entry.

In the first half, Missouri couldn't have looked further out of the game. With 49.7 seconds left to play, the Tigers have the lead.

Missouri fought back to a 58-56 score before two missed free throws by Kansas gave Missouri the ball with the chance to tie. Leo Lyons forced a foul on Cole Aldrich (his fourth) and hit two of two free throws to tie the game at 58, sending Mizzou Arena into a frenzy.

On the following KU possession, J.T. Tiller flew to the floor to force a tie up, giving Mizzou the ball thanks to the possession arrow. Tiller then came down the floor, pump faked, and hit a shot to give Missouri a 60-58 lead and send the shaking at Mizzou Arena to seismic proportions.

After a Kansas timeout, Mario Little hit a shot over Leo Lyons to tie the game at 60. Missouri has taken a timeout and can hold for the last shot. 23.5 seconds remain, as Anderson will send Tiller, Taylor, Carroll, Lyons and Lawrence onto the floor.
