In a Big 12 showdown, No. 15 Baylor defeated No. 7 Kansas 82-74 with a balanced attack. Yves Missi, Jayden Nunn, and RayJ Dennis led the Bears in scoring. Kansas struggled on the road, dropping to 2-6 in Big 12 away games.
With Creighton beating Marquette - it now means that UConn has clinched at least a share of the Big East regular season title. First Big East regular season title for UConn since 2006, 11th overall. Huskies can win it outright with a win Wednesday at Marquette https://t.co/Azxzxu4q3C
No. 12 Creighton knocks off No. 5 Marquette in a Big East showdown‼️ The Golden Eagles were without star point guard Tyler Kolek and forward Oso Ighodaro in Omaha. https://t.co/sJOkRSP2vB
Baylor Scheierman is playing as well as anyone in the country right now. Averaging 19.2 points, 9.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists (in almost 39 mins/game) over his last 11 games entering tonight -- and then 26 points, 16 boards and four dimes in today's win over Marquette. Stud.
Still believe @BluejayMBB is a potential Elite Eight/ Final 4 team depending on their bracket. On any given night, they are a problem for any opposing defense. And Greg McDermott is one of the best coaches in the game. https://t.co/IOOMMCUV0t
Gutsy effort today be a depleted No. 5 @MarquetteMBB team but looks like No. 12 @BluejayMBB will close it out Creighton will have home wins in the last 3 weeks over Xavier, Butler, UConn, Seton Hall and Marquette w/ a road loss to St. John's in there https://t.co/BgC6YVff4q
Amazing the fight in this @MarquetteMBB team, on the road @BluejayMBB without Kolek and Ighodaro
Life in the @Big12Conference # 1 in USA is a challenge . @BaylorMBB gets home W vs @KUHoops 82-74 with balanced attack .@BUDREW keeps adding to his resume which when u analyze what he has done since arriving in Waco will ultimately say HALL OF FAME next to his name .
Baylor beats Kansas in Waco. The Jayhawks are now a pedestrian 9-7 in Big 12 play. Prior to this season, Bill Self’s career Big 12 record was 262-64. Kansas is also now 2-6 on the road in league play this season.
Very resilient team these Baylor Bears, big second half from several players to dictate tempo and beat Kansas 82-74. #SicEm
Congratulations to those Fightin’ Baylor Bears for their 82-74 victory over Kansas. It was the Bears’ fourth consecutive win over the Jayhawks in Waco. Sic ‘Em!
NO. 15 BAYLOR GETS REVENGE 🐻 The Bears take down No. 7 Kansas in Waco 🔥 https://t.co/sn1TquYgEK
Kansas falls to 2-6 in Big 12 away games. Kansas loses a seventh conference game for the first time in its Big 12 history. Baylor moves into solo 3rd place. With a win tonight, BYU would move into a 4th-place tie with KU (and Texas Tech, if it wins at West Virginia). https://t.co/XewmKQur8O
Via @ESPNStatsInfo: Kansas has seven conference losses for the first time in the Bill Self era. The last time the Jayhawks lost seven or more games in conference play was 1988-89 -- Roy Williams' first season at the helm. https://t.co/n9Lu6Yn7Jf
FINAL: No. 15 Baylor 82, No. 7 Kansas 74 Baylor just has so many options. Yves Missi (17 pts) did a lot of work early, Jayden Nunn (18 pts) hit some big shots midway through and RayJ Dennis (19 and 10 assists) closed it out. Kansas drops to 6-6 in its last 12 games.
.@BaylorMBB gets the win over @KUHoops and will remain a 3 seed, per @ESPNLunardi https://t.co/YVs9KhmCKM
Kansas has seven Big 12 losses for the first time since 1989. Next weekend they play at Houston.
Baylor Scheierman makes it look easy 💰 @playforhim3 x @BluejayMBB https://t.co/0cXio4krMN
Big 12 scoring leader Kevin McCullar Jr. was back in the lineup for seventh-ranked Kansas on Saturday when the Jayhawks visited No. 15 Baylor after he missed four of the previous five games. https://t.co/YZSNc77bZC
Baylor extends to a 60-48 lead with 10:51 to play following Josh Ojianwuna's layup on the pick-and-roll. Bears are locked in and playing well.
Pivotal moment in the game. Baylor's starting to pull away. On a run. #kubball https://t.co/JaS1qp2MRp
Bears up to a 56-48 lead with 12 minutes to go following the Nunn trey. Nunn has 10 of his 17 points in the second half. RayJ Dennis up to nine assists on the day.
Foster is popping. Yves Missi get the block of a Furphy jumper on one end, which ignites the fast break, leading to a Jayden Nunn layup and a 51-46 lead. Nunn up to 14 points for the Bears.
Kansas pushes to a 40-37 lead after Dickinson's jump hook deep in the post. Bears have two quick turnovers out of the gate in the second half.
Baylor is really battling with Hunter Dickinson in the post. The KU big man has 10 points, but most have come off good passing by the Jayhawks that led to open dunks. Bears lead 28-24 with 3:53 left in the half.
Slight advantages for Baylor at the free-throw line and with turnovers/points off turnovers early. Slight lead for the Bears on #kubball ... https://t.co/lUK9WKxsbq
Yves Missi putting the Jayhawks in the spin cycle. The BU big man has 9 points, and Baylor leads 23-18 with 7:37 left in the half.
Tied at 12 with 11:54 to go in the first half. Baylor has shifted to its man defense and that's been more effective.
Here we go with @big12conference MBB with KU at Baylor. https://t.co/s0Fd7TLZIN
We're anthemed up at the Foster and just minutes away from tipoff between No. 15 Baylor and No. 7 Kansas for the second time this season. Jayhawks will get Kevin McCullar Jr. back for this one. I did not see Langston Love warming up for the Bears.
7:40 AM : @nunn_jayden getting shots up in beautiful Foster Pavillion. @KUHoops vs. @BaylorMBB Noon CST on @ABC. The two winningest programs in @Big12Conference since 2011. https://t.co/tzkq941YlP
