The Bears couldn’t answer the Jayhawks final run as Baylor (20-2, 7-2) fell to Kansas (20-2, 8-1) 73-68.
Baylor led at halftime 34-28. Johnathan Motley was masterful in the half. His size and work near the rim proved too much for KU’s smaller frontline. Motley finished the contest with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
But KU went on a 13-0 run to start the second half. The Bears battled back, but the Jayhawks were simply too much. The Bears offensive rebounding kept them in it, but KU’s 3-point shooting and number of shots at the free throw line proved to be too much.
