The high/low

High

Darnell Jackson

The senior forward quietly put together another efficient game. With 13 points on five of seven shooting, Jackson’s improved his field goal percentage to 67 percentage. He also grabbed nine rebounds.

Kansas’ perimeter defense

Missouri shot five of 28 from the three-point line, and although it looked like the Tigers were shooting blindfolded at times, you have to give credit to Kansas’ team defense. The Jayhawks did a nice job of scrambling and getting hands in the faces of shooters.

Rebounding

Kansas out-rebounded Missouri 52 to 43, and Jackson, Brandon Rush, and Darrell Arthur all pulled down nine rebounds.

Lows

Free Throw Shooting

Kansas had been inconsistent from the charity stripe for most of season – shooting 66.1 percent from the free throw line going into Missouri. But after shooting a combined 30-for-34 in Big 12 victories against Nebraska and Oklahoma, the Jayhawks looked like they had tightened up their free-throw woes – until Saturday. Kansas shot 28 of 45 from the line, including seven of 14 in the first half.

Turnovers

Mizzou Arena Crowd

The Tigers’ home crowd was lively at times, but the announced capacity crowd of 15,061 was late arriving – with a smattering of seats staying empty the entire game. And with Kansas holding a six-point lead with a little more than a minute left -- and the game somewhat still in doubt -- thousands of Tiger fans headed for the exits.

DeMarre Carroll

Missouri’s leading scorer at 14.9 points per game, Carroll shot two of 11 from the field and one of six from the free throw line and finished with five points.
