Waco, TX (Sports Network) - Jeff Withey scored a career-high 25 points as No.
7 Kansas rolled over sixth-ranked Baylor, 68-54, to take a share of first
place in the Big 12.
The teams entered the game in a tie for second place with identical 8-2
conference records, but the Jayhawks (19-5, 9-2 Big 12) used Withey's career
day and a stifling second-half defense to overtake the Bears.
The Jayhawks now sit in a tie with Missouri for the top spot.
Tyshawn Taylor added 19 points and Thomas Robinson had 15 with 11 rebounds in
Kansas' second win in three games.
Pierre Jackson paced Baylor (21-3, 8-3) with 16 points, while Quincy Acy and
Cory Jefferson each added 11 as the Bears had their four-game win streak
snapped. Acy added a team-high 10 rebounds in the loss.
