FINAL FOUR
Jayhawks collapse late against Tigers
KORY CARPENTER

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Fresh out of the final television timeout and holding a 69-63 lead, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor seemed stuck on the baseline near the corner, the raucous Missouri student section nearly within arm's reach.
With any thoughts of a productive Kansas possession dwindling by each dribble, Taylor found space on the baseline and darted for the hoop, throwing down a dunk to quiet the Tiger faithful and giving the Jayhawks an eight-point lead with just under three-and-a-half minutes to play.
Unbeknownst to Kansas fans at the time — or anyone watching the game, really — Taylor's dunk was the final bucket for the Jayhawks in Saturday night's 74-71 defeat. Missouri ended the game on an 11-0 run.
"We let the game get away from us," junior forward Travis Releford said. "You have to give credit to them. They made big shots, but we also turned the ball over late."
While Missouri senior guard Marcus Denmon was finishing an old-fashioned three-point play, a layup and a free throw, as well as two highly contested three-pointers; Kansas turned the ball over four times in the final three-and-a half minutes. Taylor had a chance to give Kansas a one-point lead with a
pair of free throws with 42 seconds remaining,
but missed both.
Taylor, who played 38 minutes in the loss, was noticeably winded in the final minutes. Fatigue could be pointed to as the cause for the missed free throws, but the guard is shooting just 67.6 percent from the free-throw line this season to begin with. Taylor was one of four layhawks to play 29 minutes or more and one of three to play at least 35 minutes.
"I don't think it was fatigue, but it could have been," Kansas coach Bill Self said of the failed execution in the final minutes. "We obviously made some really bad plays late. Really bad plays that just put them in position to win the game."
Self didn't think the collapse down the stretch was a composure issue,but said someone who watched the game could definitely make that case.
"We definitely did it to ourselves," junior center Jeff Withey said. "We had the lead and if we had just held onto the ball it would have been a wav different outcome."
They didn't, however, and Missouri picked up its second home victory over Kansas since the 2005-2006 season.
"We've had three sets of three minutes over here that absolutely stink," Self said. "And that would be right up near the top."

"What makes this slightly different from, say, posing nude in an adult magazine is that once a photo is shared via twitter or Facebookortextmessage, it's eventual ending point is unknown," he said. "This not knowing and the risk involved is what I think
drives some of this."

Soap said he expected the trend to pick up again in the fall when the football season kicks off. Soap said October would be a good month
to revamp the trend because it's also Breast Cancer Awareness month.
