Carroll's baby hook with 2:12 to go in the second overtime put Missouri, which trailed by 12 points early in the second half, ahead for good at 77-75. Lyons' jumper from the left side of the key made it a four-point lead with 15 seconds to go and Iowa State's Dionte Garrett slipped while driving to the basket and was stripped to set up Carroll's clinching dunk with 1.5 seconds left.

Garrett, a freshman reserve, had a career-high 20 points for Iowa State (14-16, 4-11).
