Columbia, Mo. ? Linas Kleiza’s jump shot was not working, judging from his 3-for-10 day. So he drew fouls most of the second half.

Kleiza scored 15 of his 18 points after the break, 11 of them on free throws, to help Missouri overcome a 17-point deficit in a 56-53 victory over Indiana on Sunday. He was 12-for-16 at the line, including making a pair that put the Tigers ahead for good at 54-53 with 31 seconds left.

“That’s the thing about me, I can play inside and outside,” Kleiza said. “I just thought I had a big advantage inside, so I just went inside and got to the free-throw line.”

Marshall Brown added 11 points off the bench, including a spinning dunk off a turnover with one second left, as Missouri beat Indiana with a big comeback for the second straight season. Last season, the Tigers (6-4) finished with a 21-2 run and won by five on the road.

Coach Quin Snyder said that comeback wasn’t mentioned at halftime. Instead, he just increased the intensity and used a zone press to force Indiana out of its game.

“We said, ‘Hey, a lot of time left. One bucket at a time,”‘ Snyder said.

Or in this case, one free throw at a time.

“I have no idea why you foul a guy that was 3-for-10 from the field,” Indiana coach Mike Davis said. “But we did.”

Bracey Wright had 12 points and three assists for Indiana despite breaking his nose in two places late in the first half on an intentional offensive foul by Spencer Laurie. Wearing a bandage over his nose, Wright hit two free throws with 1:12 to go for a 51-50 lead, but he lost control of the ball driving in the lane on Indiana’s final possession with about four seconds left.

Missouri's Linas Kleiza (41) is fouled as he goes up for a shot against Indiana's Ryan Tapak. Kleiza was 12-of-16 from the free-throw line in the Tigers' 56-53 victory Sunday in Columbia, Mo.

“It showed a lot of courage to come back and play,” Davis said. “He was really woozy at halftime.”

D.J. White had 13 points for Indiana (2-5), which has lost five in a row.

“We played a great first half,” Davis said. “I thought in the second half we really let their press affect us. And every time they needed to make a play, they made one.”

Iowa State 62, Wagner 50

Ames, Iowa — John Neal scored all of his 16 points in the first half to keep Iowa State in the game, and the Cyclones used a 22-7 run in the second half to pull away.
