6:05 pm
dish underneath. foul called. >> verne: another player is down. the foul was on robinson. >> clark: i think it's denmon. >> verne: it is denmon. >> clark: he took a shot after he got into the lane. not sure exactly where the problem is, but he's trying to walk it off, and talk it off, claiming he was fouled. looks like he's grabbing his shoulder, but he made a nice pass to ratliffe, who will have two free throws after he was fouled by thomas robinson. >> verne: this is, as we've said throughout, just an outstanding free throw team. never more so than in the last two minutes of a game where, as a team, they're hitting 79.5%. now you've got ricardo ratliffe at the line. two of two so far.
6:06 pm
>> verne: smooth. >> clark: all rope, we call it. >> verne: matt pressey is going to come on the floor and his brother, phil, will take a rest. denmon still trying to shake off whatever it was -- i think you're right. i think it was a shoulder. >> clark: offense-defense substitutions by frank haith, done a nice job, going to get ratliffe out of the way and get steve moore back to bang with robinson in the paint. >> verne: missouri for the game, 12 of 14 from the line. something they've done all year long. >> clark: kansas has won the volume game at the free-throw line. they've taken 26. maybe 28 now. that was before the releford tear. >> verne: johnson looks inside. to robinson.
6:07 pm
1:15 to go. >> clark: moore and robinson really fighting down in the low post. no double team. >> verne: turnaround. off the glass, too strong. missouri. >> clark: excellent job by steve moore to fight him and challenge him and force him over the top, through his body. >> verne: one minute to go. missouri calls time out. before you tackle your projects, stock up on craftsman innovations at the tool mega sale, this week, only at sears. get up to 50% off all craftsman mechanics tool sets and craftsman tool storage. plus hundreds of other craftsman tools are on sale, craftsman. trust. in your hands.

6:08 pm
>> verne: missouri has led since the 6:15 mark of the first half of play, largest lead 19, it was 12 at the break and then extended to 19 points. k.u. has clawed back but they trail by three again with 61 seconds to go. >> clark: they've got enough time here, verne, to defend without fouling but they need a stop. missouri, on the other hand, wants to maximize their shot clock and try to get something going to the basket. if not, just a high quality look is what they're desiring here. >> verne: 10 on the shot clock. good defense by taylor. four on the shot clock. >> verne: oh, my gracious. >> clark: halfway down. >> verne: yes, it was. >> clark: you've got to attack the goal here. you don't need a three right here, verne, i think at this
6:09 pm
time out you draw up a play to get the ball inside and score right away in the paint area. you don't have to settle for a three here. plenty of time to stretch the game out if you're kansas. >> verne: how about the contested three down in the basket. i wouldn't do that. pay the check? no, i wouldn't use that single miles credit card. hey, aren't you... shhh. i'm researching a role. today's special... the capital one venture card. you earn double miles on every purchase. impressive. chalk is a lost medium. if you're not earning double miles...

6:11 pm
taylor on the floor. here is johnson. >> clark: not opposed to a good look at the three if you get one and that's what they're trying to do. >> verne: there is the dish. robinson. he went down hard. he's fouled. he is perfect at the line today. and appears to be just fine. >> clark: that's beautifully executed, partner. a little dribble-weave action, if the three availed itself they might have looked at it but i think they were trying to get the ball inside, off of, to robinson. >> verne: perfect at the line today. six -- off of movement, to robinson. >> verne: perfect at the lineup today, six for six. this is for the tie.
6:13 pm
>> verne: they haven't stopped since time was called. no time outs for either team. kansas has committed six fouls. they've also righted the ship at the free-throw line. remember, they were 10 of 20. kansas has made its last nine at the stripe. >> clark: that's how you close. you've got to make free throws. you've got to take care of the ball. you've got to get good shots. and you need stops. they've done all the above. can they get a stop here? >> verne: 10.1 to go in a tie game, pressey guarded by johnson. takes it all the way. blocked.

last game between these two conference opponents for the foreseeable future. >> clark: how fitting. let's play five more. >> verne: ratliff and robinson will jump at center. >> verne: k.u., tyshawn taylor joined by elijah johnson, releford, robinson, and conner tea han, missouri has pressey, english, dixon, dernmon and ratliffe. >> clark: and ratliffe playing with four fouls. >> verne: for three. the first lead for k.u. since 6:15 remaining in the first half

6:21 pm
>> verne: see the foul situation, pressey, ratliffe and pressey with four each, johnson has four and then a trio of players, robinson, taylor, young. there is larry brown. he coached this team from 1983 to 1988. he has remained a deeply loyal part of the k.u. family. he went on the road with them last week.
6:22 pm
told me yesterday morning he thinks he will go on the road with them next week. >> clark: he loves the game, has contributed to it at the highest of levels for a long time. >> verne: including a national championship with danny manning as his captain in 1988. from the corner. a forced shot. loose ball. >> clark: and i think it's going to be a foul on k.u. and they get conner teahan, verne. one of the things that's happened to missouri from the time they got the big lead, they have settled for a lot of jump shots. not in rhythm, as we saw in the first half. some of that is due to the defense of improvement -- defensive improvement this half of kansas and i think a part of it's been just settling and not probing and driving as much as they need to.
6:23 pm
>> verne: pressey is back, pressey is gone. >> clark: one pressey for another, the offensive-defensive substitution, both presseys and ratliff have four, and if ratliff makes this free throw, i think steve moore will be back in the game. >> verne: getting ready. hoe did, and he is, so ratliff with those four fouls sits down. steve moore back, and it's a one-point ballgame, 2:11 to go in overtime. >> clark: a good move by frank haith, and i think both coaches have done an excellent job, verne. now it's about your players executing, and that's what you want to see. >> verne: robinson. no double. up, under, short. steve moore got the rebound. missouri with a chance to take the lead. got what they wanted, do you think? >> clark: i think so, yeah, he didn't get the lift on that one
6:24 pm
he did the prior time and give credit to steve moore who walled him off effectively without fouling. >> verne: 90 seconds to go in o.t. denmon. dixon. off the mark. saved by moore. >> clark: missouri continuing to settle for the perimeter shot, verne. somebody for them has to try to put pressure on kansas by driving the ball. i think they're taking kansas off the hook a bit by settling for jumpers. >> verne: matt pressey, short. robinson, out of bounds, and a foul is called. that will will be the afternoon for matt pressey.
6:25 pm
>> clark: pressey actually got bumped there as he went to the lane. no call. robinson will have free throws. matt pressey has been dairy queened. >> verne: matt pressey fouled out. picked up three fouls really quickly and robinson is at the line where he's been perfect today, seven of seven. >> clark: verne, how about the performance college basketball fans have seen today on cbs. anthony davis, 28, 11, and i think six blocks. thomas robinson, a big-time 20-plus double-double for him, and his first free throw miss but terrific performances by the two leading candidates for player of the year today.
6:26 pm
>> verne: from the corner, english. back outside. dixon. guarded by tyshawn taylor. this for the lead. yes. denmon. the three-pointer from denmon, who shot daggers at the heart of this k.u. team in the first game -- and he comes up huge with 40 seconds to go in this one. well, when you own a durango, you'll have tons of power, enough to tow up to 7,400 pounds. so owning a durango means you now have the responsibility to go dirt biking, a.t.v.-ing, motorcycling, boating, jet skiing and show a ford explorer a thing or two about
6:27 pm
what it means to have best-in-class towing. the s.u.v. is back. >> verne: 34.6 it go, marcus denmon for the day now six of 10 from three-point range. >> clark: he just kind of bided his time. he had been quiet for a while, verne, i spoke to him before the game, he went into a slump until he got going recently in his last seven ballgames. he said, "i didn't do anything different, i continued to wait and take good shots and i knew my stroke would return" and he's proven to be a big-time shot maker and taker, now kansas a similar situation at the end of regulation. you go inside fairly quickly if you can. picture perfect. that's the inventory of late-game plays that every coach has.
6:28 pm
>> verne: right. >> clark: he showed us a little something different here. pressure up the line, cleared the back side and got a bounce pass back-cut. the prior time, at the end of regulation, dribble weave and got it into the post. >> verne: they're checking the clock for the correct time. >> clark: beautifully executed play out of this time out. >> clark: and we had probably -- looks like we may need to add another second, perhaps. let's take another look at it and see where -- keeping an eye on the game clock. shot clock is irrelevant here. 27.2 is where we are, so a second looks like it should be added. >> verne: they're added two seconds. 28.6. >> clark: yeah.
6:29 pm
>> verne: mark whitehead coming over and telling us that neither team can sub because that was a timing error. >> clark: exactly. >> verne: that's helpful, isn't it? >> clark: it is, but i think had frank haith been able to sub, you might see ratliffe out there instead of steve moore. i think you've got to go reasonably quickly here because you're down one, you still want to have time if you don't score to get an offensive rebound, or a foul to extend the game. >> verne: denmon. jumper. got it. 12.1 to go. >> clark: got to get back. >> verne: tyshawn taylor. off the glass. he will shoot free throws with 8.3 remaining.
