(AP) -- Kansas and Missouri kept their storied rivalry alive just a little bit longer.

Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson made it a memorable ending for Kansas.

Robinson kept the game going with a three-point play in the closing seconds of regulation, and Taylor's two free throws with8.3 seconds left in overtime gave the fourth-ranked Jayhawks an 87-86 victory over No. 3 Missouri on Saturday in their final scheduled regular-season matchup.

The Tigers, who blew a 19-point second-half lead, never got a potential winning shot off in the closing seconds.

They will head off to the Southeastern Conference next season with a bitter taste in their mouths.

Robinson finished with 28 points and 12 rebounds for Kansas (24-5, 14-2), which wrapped up at least a share of its eighthstraight Big 12 title.

Taylor added 24 points, seven in overtime.

Marcus Denmon led Missouri (25-4, 12-4) with 28 points.

Ricardo Ratliffe finished with 22.
