3-point follow: Kansas 70, Baylor 66

KANSAS CITY — A three-point followup to No. 1 Kansas defeating No. 22 Baylor 70-66 in the Big 12 tournament semifinals Friday night:

Second-half knockout: Wayne Selden Jr. jawed at Bill Self on the bench, Jake Lindsey banked home a halftime buzzer-beater and Baylor trotted off with a 23-21 lead. Yet just when it appeared the Jayhawks were vulnerable …

Perry Ellis began slicing through the lane and Selden dunked the Ish out of the ball as Kansas went up by 16.

Credit Baylor for a late charge against Self’s reserves, but Kansas (29-4) had the cushion it needed for a 13th consecutive win and a slot in Saturday’s championship game.
