No. 6 Kansas gets 11th Big 12 road win in row, 93-64 at TCU Not even Kansas coach Bill Self was going to look for something nitpick about the No. 6 Jayhawks after an impressive bounce-back game played without their senior starting point guard. David McCormack had a season-high 20 points to lead five Kansas players in double figures, and the Jayhawks beat TCU 93-64 on Tuesday night to match their own Big 12 record by winning their 11th consecutive conference road game. read more https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=401253846

McCormack scores 17 as No. 6 Kansas edges Oklahoma, 63-59 The message from Kansas coach Bill Self to his team was simple: You played lousy for 20 minutes and you're still in the game, tailing Oklahoma by just two points at halftime. Quite the compliment, in a roundabout way — and an odd but effective way to provide some confidence. The sixth-ranked Jayhawks leaned on that message throughout the second half Saturday, turning their showdown with the short-handed Sooners into a nip-and-tuck game that went down to the end. David McCormack hit the clinching short hook shot with 12.8 seconds to go, giving him 17 points and Kansas a hard-earned 63-59 victory. read more https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=401253851

Butler erupts for 28 as Baylor men roll past TCU, 67-49 Baylor guard Jared Butler (right) drives the ball past TCU’s RJ Nembhard in the second half of Saturday’s BU win in Fort Worth. Butler scored 28 for the unbeaten Bears. TCU guard Desmond Bane is gone to the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies, but his departure didn’t stop Baylor from getting off to a slow start at Schollmaier Arena. After the Bears missed nine of 10 first-half 3-pointers, Mike Miles gave the Horned Frogs a one-point lead going into halftime by banking in a 3-pointer that sailed two-thirds of the court at the buzzer. But the Bears flipped the script and looked more like the nation's No. 2 team in the second half. With preseason All-American Jared Butler finishing with a season-high 28 points, the Bears dominated the second half to ease to a 67-49 win Saturday afternoon.
