Jackson’s free throw lets KU escape Texas Tech with win

Josh Jackson’s career-high 31-point outing helped Kansas claim a narrow victory over Texas Tech on Saturday at United Supermarkets Arena and maintain the Jayhawks’ series domination of the Red Raiders.

Jackson hit 12 of 15 shots, including a game-winning free throw with 2 seconds left, and had 11 rebounds to lift the Jayhawks to an 80-79 victory on a day Frank Mason was slowed by illness.

The No. 3 Jayhawks improved to 22-3 overall and 10-2 in the Big 12. Texas Tech, which was led by Keenan Evans (25 points), Niem Stevenson (22) and Zach Smith (21), fell to 16-9, 4-8.
