KANSAS STUNS BAYLOR

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas finally put a blemish on second-ranked Baylor’s perfect season.

David McCormack bruised his way to 20 points, Marcus Garrett added 14 on his senior night, and the No. 17 Jayhawks beat the Bears 71-58 on Saturday to leave top-ranked Gonzaga as the nation’s only unbeaten team.

They also made the sure Baylor would need to wait at least a few more days to clinch its first conference title since 1950.

Kansas (18-8, 12-6) improved to 17-5 against top-10 teams in Allen Fieldhouse under coach Bill Self, whose team also avoided getting swept in a home-and-home series by a team for just the third time in 127 opportunities since his arrival.

Baylor (18-1, 11-1) led wire-towire when the teams met last month in Waco, Texas.

MaCio Teague scored 18 points and Davion Mitchell added 13 for the Bears, who struggled with foul trouble while getting dominated 48-28 on the boards.
