Tyshawn Taylor grabbed the opening tip, took a couple dribbles across midcourt and heaved a pass ahead to Jeff Withey, who was fouled while slamming home a rim-rattling dunk. Kansas needed all of 5 seconds to set the tone against overmatched, undersized Howard. Taylor finished with 13 points and five assists, Connor Teahan also had 13 points and the Jayhawks (No. 18 ESPN/USA Today, No. 17 AP) coasted to an 89-34 victory Thursday night.
