KU tops Missouri in ‘Border Showdown’
In a tight game that came right down to the wire, Sherron Collins enjoyed a career night to led KU past the Tigers, 80-77.
Collins’ career night gets KU round one over MU
But Collins, once again, went in and laid the ball in to put KU up by three with less than 30 seconds to go. Missouri missed a three, but KU turned the ball over on a baseball pass to Brandon Rush which sailed over his head, giving MU the ball back with 11.1 seconds left. Matt Lawrence shot a contested three at the buzzer with Brandon Rush in his face, but it sailed well short. Sherron Collins led all scorers with a career-high 23 points, including 15 in the second half. Lawrence led Mizzou with 19 points. Now, after three games in five days improved KU to 16-2 overall and 3-0 in Big 12 play, KU takes a little break before playing Bobby Knight’s Texas Tech squad down in Lubbock Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m.
