Top-seeded Kansas wasn't about to let itself get lulled into a sense of apathy by playing an early afternoon game in the Big 12 tournament. It helped that the Jayhawks had a partisan crowd behind them in the Sprint Center. It also helped that they had Iowa State awaiting them in the semifinals. Ben McLemore scored 24 points and the hot-shooting, seventh-ranked Jayhawks rolled to a 91-63 rout of Texas Tech on Thursday, setting up a third matchup with the Cyclones that basketball fans can only hope lives up to the drama of their first two games this season.
