This was one of those games you just couldn't look away from. Arguably the two best defenses in the country were guarding each possession like it it was their last. Things started off poorly for KU as Baylor jumped out to a 5-0 lead, but Kansas responded by scoring the next nine. Kansas held a small lead for the majority of the first half, but started to push it out toward double digits with a few minutes to go. Fortunately for Baylor, they were able to put an 8-2 run together and pull to within three by halftime, 34-31.
