The Tigers wanted to surpass their home attendance record, using a promotion called "Head to the Hearnes" to attract fans. The plan worked; a record crowd of 10,126 people watched Kansas squander a nine-point second-half lead and lose to Missouri 89-84 in overtime.
But it wasn't the only record broken during the game. Records fell like rain in a game that was as physical and intense as it was close.
Senior Tracy Franklin set a new career high with 24 points, including five three-pointers. Senior Kerensa Barr scored a career-high 13 points. And the Tigers broke their record for three-pointers made in a game with 11.
Even the Jayhawks got in on the record-breaking. Senior Jennifer Jackson scored 12 points to become the third Kansas player to reach the 1,000-point milestone this season.
Missouri coach Cindy Stein said beating Kansas in front of such a large crowd made the victory all the more gratifying.
Missouri (15-7 overall and 6-5 in the Big 12 Conference) probably wouldn't have topped the 'Hawks without Franklin's hot shooting. The 5-foot 10 guard led all scorers with 24 points and kept the Tigers in the game during the second half when senior Amanda Lassiter, the team's leading scorer, was on the bench with foul trouble. Lassiter was forced to miss nearly nine minutes after picking up her fourth foul with 12:43 remaining in the second half.
"It was a memorable win in the fact that we were able to do it in front of 10,000 people," Stein said. "I also think it is extremely special any time we can beat KU."
But Missouri didn't miss a beat
during her absence thanks to Franklin and freshman Evan Unrau, who scored seven of her nine points while Lassiter was on the bench in the second half.
It was a breakout game for Franklin, whose previous career-best was 18 points against Eastern Illinois back in November.
Even with Franklin's barrage of three-pointers, Missouri had problems matching up with the Jayhawks. Kansas (9-13 and 3-8) shot 58.2 percent from the field and 19-of-25 from the free-throw line. Missouri, which trailed throughout most of the game, shot 49.3 percent and struggled from the line, hitting just 12-of-22.
But it was Lassiter who put the Tigers over the hump late in the second half. Lassiter, who is averaging 19.8 points per game, scored nine points in the final four minutes of regulation and in overtime to lead
"Tracy's been stepping it up," Stein said. "We see this kind of Tracy every day in practice."

Baseball team clinches three weekend victories
By Ryan Malashock sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Fueled by an inexperienced pitching staff that drew concerns throughout the preseason, the Kansas baseball team opened its season this weekend with three consecutive victories at the Round Rock Express College Classic championship.
By claiming victories against Texas Christian, Southwest Texas State and Charlotte, Kansas sprinted out to only its second 3-0 start since 1987.
Kansas clinched the championship Sunday with a 5-2 victory against Charlotte. Junior Jake Wright, making his first career start at Kansas, picked up the win by throwing seven
"I felt that was a definite turn-around point in the game," Spanish said. "We weren't executing as well as we had in the first two games, but we played well from there on."
"We did a lot of nice things," Randall said. "We stole some bases, got some solid base hits and played pretty good baseball overall."
Kansas scored single runs in both the seventh and eighth innings before junior Doug Lantz shut down the 49ers in the ninth inning for his second save of the season.

Coach Bobby Randall was impressed by Kansas' execution against the Horned Frogs.
Jayhawks second baseman Casey Spanish changed the momentum of the game with one swing of the bat. Following a Jason Appuhn walk and a John Nelson single, Spanish connected on the three-run home run to put the Jayhawks ahead 3-2.
Spanish said the pace of Sunday's game definitely changed after his blast.
Kansas' season began on Friday with a 7-3 defeat of Texas Christian. Senior Pete Smart recorded the first win of the season, pitching 6 2/3 shutout innings and making seven strikeouts. Lantz closed the door on Texas Christian in his first career Kansas appearance by throwing 2 1/3 innings and earning his first save. Nelson, senior Doug Dreher, and junior Justin Davis each had two hits aniece for the Javahaws.
"Last night, I was pretty jittery," Wright said. "But today, I was actually calm. I got off to a great start, and I think that's important. The key for me today was that I kept the ball low in the zone and kept attacking the hitters."
Trailing 2-0 in the fifth inning.
innings and surrendering just two earned runs on six hits. Wright said he had been nervous the night before his first start, but settled into a groove once Sunday's game began.
