The top-seeded Huskies blew an early 11-point lead but survived against the frenetic third-seeded Tigers, who came back to grab a 50-49 lead with 13:35 to play. Leo Lyons, above, and Matt Lawrence each had 13 points for Missouri (31-7), which was denied its first Final Four berth. Four seniors played their last games as Tigers in Glendale, Ariz. on Saturday afternoon.
