College Basketball Wrapup Kansas wins 30th straight Big 12 opener

LUBBOCK, TEXAS Ochai Agbaji got wide open again to take an inbound pass and made the goahead layup with 13 seconds left to extend a three- decade streak for No. 5 Kansas.

Agbaji finished with 23 points, the last coming after the inbound pass from Marcus Garrett, in a 58- 57 win over No. 14 Texas Tech on Thursday, giving the Jayhawks a victory in their conference opener for the 30th season in a row.

“We ran a play to get Ochai open and he was actually open initially, but the defender was jumping over the ball where I couldn’t get it to him ( for a lob). ... I was able to look around, and Ochai was still open,” Garrett said.

Agbaji was 8- of- 11 from the field, including four made 3- pointers, with only one turnover in 34 minutes.

Texas Tech ( 6- 2, 0- 1) had one more opportunity after a timeout with 6.2 seconds left. But Terrence Shannon Jr., who had 20 points and nine rebounds, had his mid- range jumper blocked by Jalen Wilson to end the game.
