Kansas can wrap up Big 12 title today vs. MU

There's more than enough at stake for Kansas in today's regular-season finale without taking into account the school's fierce rivalry with Missouri.

Kansas, which has clinched a share of the Big 12 Conference title, has a chance to grab it outright for the second straight season. But the sixth-ranked Jayhawks will have to do it in Columbia, Mo., against a team trying to wrap up a perfect home schedule, and one that annually gives Kansas fits.

"I think that I can remember every win over there," coach Roy Williams said. "They have been pretty hard to get."

Kansas (23-6, 13-2) is coming off a 65-56 victory at Texas Tech on Monday and has won 10 of 11. The lone loss was at Oklahoma, which led by 32 points at one point in a 77-70 finale.

Missouri (18-8, 9-6) struggled in a 71-55 loss at Iowa State on Wednesday but has been a completely different team in the Hearnes Center. The Tigers have shot 47 percent overall and 40 percent from 3-point range and are outscoring their opponents by an average of 16.9 points per game. That includes a victory over then No. 3 Oklahoma.

The Tigers are seeking their first unbeaten season at home since 1993-94, when they also were undefeated in the Big Eight, and their seventh since they began playing in the Hearnes Center in 1972-73. Suffice to say, opponents don't enjoy playing there.

"It's wild in Columbia, but it's wild everywhere you go for the most part," guard Aaron Miles said. "Texas was wild for us last year. Oklahoma was wild this year.

"I don't think that Missouri has the rowdiest crowd, but they are pretty rowdy."

A victory for Missouri coupled with an Oklahoma State loss at Texas A&M also would allow the Tigers to finish alone in fourth place in the Big 12, guaranteeing them a first-round bye in the conference tournament. But coach Quin Snyder has been disappointed by the team's overall inconsistency.

Austin Peay wins OVC title over Morehead State

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Dave Loos thought his Austin Peay Governors were better than the fifth place they were predicted to finish in the Ohio Valley Conference, but he never expected this.

Corey Gipson and Anthony Davis each scored 13 points to lead Austin Peay to a 63-57 victory over Tennessee Tech in the OVC championship game as the Governors earned their fifth NCAA tournament berth.

Austin Peay (23-7) added its third OVC tournament title to its share of the regular-season title.
