No. 1 Baylor men’s basketball fell for the first time since early November as No. 3 Kansas left Waco with a 64-61 win. Jayhawk center Ukoka Azuibuke finished with a dominant 23 points and 19 rebounds against the Bear defense.
Baylor started the game with a three by redshirt junior guard MaCio Teague and a redshirt senior forward Freddie Gillespie jumper to gain a 5-0 lead, but that was the last lead the Bears held all day.
Kansas ran off the next nine points and didn’t let up, leading by as many as nine points in the first half.
