Despite their success outside of Lawrence, the No. 11-ranked Jayhawks, suddenly, inexplicably fell apart despite being up by 19 at the break: KU was outscored by Baylor (14-7, 6-4), 60-30, the final 20 minutes of an 81-70 loss.

Baylor, which has dropped three of its last five games, is led by guardVJ Edgecombe, a 6-5 freshman sensation from the Bahamas, who averages 18.6 points in nine conference games. He is 23-of-48 from 3 for 47.9%. He also averages 4.7 rebounds with 28 assists to 20 turnovers and 18 steals in league competition.
