The Missouri Tigers scored the game's final 11 points, rallying to beat Kansas, 74-71, on Saturday night at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, Mo.
KU had one last chance to tie it at the buzzer, but a desperation three by Elijah Johnson only hit backboard.
Marcus Denmon led Missouri with 29 points on 10-for-16 shooting.
KU was led by Thomas Robinson, who posted 25 points and 13 rebounds. Nineteen of his 25 points came in the second half.
Tyshawn Taylor added 21 points for KU.
KU (18-5, 8-2 Big 12) will travel to Baylor for a 6 p.m. game Wednesday.

Our two leading scorers had 21 and 25, combining for 46 of our 71 points and you blame this loss on them..... ?

Wow I guess it makes sense that most of the calls in the last 3 minutes went for MO. Lets all just surrender now. I bet all you people who say that MO won this game fairly will be carrying a white blanket to the KU MO in Lawrence. After all why stick up for ur team when it so much easier to surrender.

Thank you TT. You were amazing all night. At the end of the day I'm happy with him being our PG. Tough loss, but the sky is not falling. Beat Baylor and the Big 12 is ours to lose.

Good game hawks! played a great game and proved that we're better than mu. not better than mu + bad calls
Dave Cook in reply to Rockchalk1990
wrong... the bad call changed momentum..Mu did not win fairly..sorry.
James McGuire in reply to Rockchalk1990
MU made more plays when it mattered, but you can't deny that the refs impacted the game.

Our big players DID step up.
Robinson made a nasty move in the paint to score two, putting KU up 10... oh wait, that was erased by a god-awful KU foul.
Taylor draws a foul while being ridden to the ground, goes to the line to put KU back up 10 (or up 12)... oh, wait, that was a no-call turnover.
Sorry, but the refs completely changed the complexion of that game.
Brian Powell
20 fouls to 10?? cmon. you KNOW that didn't happen.
And the two big calls at the end of the game, charges against TT and Trbo, were obvious flops.
But yes, TT turned it over, yes another team hit ridiculous 3s against us,but cmon - who calls an OFFENSIVE foul like that at the end of a game when the team with the ball is DOWN? They wouldn't even call a DEFENSIVE foul in that situation!

I'm just glad KU never has to visit that trash again!!! Time for an EPIC beatdown in AFH.

Oh and TAYLOR driving against 2 guys instead of getting the ball to KUs ONLY All-American!!!

Sorry, Hawks didn't deserve to win. -0- pts. in last 3:39 with mental mistake after mental mistake and at the end we can't even get a good shot off. Hate to say it but Tyshawn's misktakes in 2nd half outweighed his good points. Great FT shooting !
Daniel Kennamore
Once again, TT single-handily loses the game for us. Absolutely inexcusable to give him the ball on our last possession.

Up 8 points with 1:30 left...meets the definition of "choke" in most books.
Tophawk87
TT is not a true Point Guard....he is a #2 shooting guard, we need to quit giving him the ball in late game situations....
Kenshinu
Refs had nothing to do with it.....we had the lead but TAYLOR had to get all AND1 and try to split 3 defenders, which ultimately led to Mizzou taking the lead on a 3
Rockchalk1990 in reply to Marchphog88
Blaming the refs makes us sound like a bunch of whiny little punks! They beat us when it mattered.
Brian Conrad
And y should have been under goal good fft shooter rebound and TT would not have to drive so deep
Jayhawkinatl in reply to Oklahawk58
Agreed, but that charge call on TRob was ridiculous!!!! Would have put us up by 10.

Our big players have to step up. I don't think there is any way to coach that. It just has to be there. We are pretty good but suspect at prime time.
Marchphog88 in reply to Lurkerhawk
Anyone who says "don't blame the refs" wasn't watching.
The refs LITERALLY took points off the board.
Phog79
MO was fortunate to make their desperate 3's. Like our game. We played strong. We were the better team.
Oklahawk58
I'm not one to blame the refs, but that was just plain bad. Sure, we didn't hit our shots at the end, but we shouldn't have to overcome bad officiating.
Theend
The refs sucked but Ku lost it. It was choke. But give MU some credit they made incredible shots
Kenshinu
Can't wait till Taylor graduates and takes his sub-par decision making skills out of Lawrence!!!!
Jayhawkinatl
Jesus...blew an 8 point lead with 1:30 left!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about a colossal choke!!!!!!!
fansincewilt
We have to be big at the end of games to go somewhere. We choked against Duke and choked here. This is not a good sign for the end of our season. I would like to see us win a big game at the end.
| Kansas | 71 |
|---|---|
| Missouri | 74 |
Marchphog88 in reply to Gabriel Engeland
No. MU defender over-played and Taylor DREW contact when the MU defender leaned back into Taylor's path.
That was a terrible call.
Mike Kendall
I said on the Cram Session------"I hope that we get some breaks from the officials." Of course, that didn't happen.
Marchphog88
I can be fine losing to Misery.
I cannot accept watching these incompetent, azzhat zebras single-handedly win the game for these f***ing slavers.
