MU outlasts Iowa State in double overtime
By MIKE DeARMOND

COLUMBIA | What began as far from a fond farewell took two overtimes and two officials conferences before Missouri said hello to an 81-75 Senior Night victory over Iowa State.
Down 41-29 in the second half, Missouri had 20 seconds and the final possession to win it in regulation. Leo Lyons’ 10-foot jumper rolled off as time expired.
Iowa State forced the second OT when Diante Garrett rebounded his own miss and popped in a follow shot with just 1.5 seconds left.
The final minute was no less tense.
Missouri led 77-75 when Lyons followed up his own miss with 1:05 to play. But officials ruled the follow hadn’t beaten the shot clock, and a conference at the replay table reconfirmed it.
Lyons gave MU a four-point lead with the jumper left of the free throw line with 15 seconds to play. But that came only after another officials meeting when one first ruled a deflection out of bounds off MU’s Darryl Butterfield and another a charge on ISU’s Bryan Peterson.
The charge stood.
But the fireworks were not over.
Garrett lost the ball under the ISU basket, MU’s J.T. Tiller picked it up and threw to a streaking DeMarre Carroll.
And finally, with an authority missing through most of the game, Carroll slammed home the final points of a victory that kept MU from falling into an 11th-place tie in the Big 12 with the Cyclones.
Coach Mike Anderson started all four of his seniors on their final regular season game at Mizzou Arena.
The reception from a crowd of a mere 7,691 was polite applause, no more. At first, even that seemed to have been excessive.
The seniors — Jason Horton, Marshall Brown, Vaidotas Volkus and Darryl Butterfield — scored a combined two points in the first half. Missouri trailed by five at the break.
And even after 50 minutes, the MU seniors combined for only 14 points.
Ten of those and several key plays came from Horton. Carroll led MU with 26 points and Lyons finished with 19 points and nine rebounds.
