LAWRENCE, Kan. -- If Kansas is going to win a 15th straight Big 12 championship, the Jayhawks will have to win this title in a most unfamiliar way.
Kansas kept its conference title hopes alive on Monday night by beating first-place Kansas State 64-49 at Allen Fieldhouse but the Jayhawks, 10-5 in the Big 12, remain in third place. They're a game behind 11-4 Kansas State and a half-game behind 10-4 Texas Tech.
So the Jayhawks can't win another Big 12 title just by winning their final three games. They also need help from others.
