The 15th-ranked Kansas Jayhawks are in trouble from winning their 15th consecutive Big 12 Regular Season Championship, and a blowout loss to the Texas Tech Red Raiders last Saturday helped absolutely nothing. Bill Self's team has been hampered with injuries this season and sure are feeling it, although, they got back on track for at least one night on Monday. Dedric Lawson had a double-double of 18 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Jayhawks to a 64-49 win over the 16th-ranked Kansas State Wildcats. Devon Dotson added 16 points, while Quentin Grimes added 12 points in their 10th conference win of the season. They are now within a game of the first-place Wildcats, who have dropped just four games in conference play this season. The Red Raiders are only a half-game back in that race.
The Wildcats struggled at Allen Fieldhouse, shooting just 32 percent as a team, splitting the regular season series with their in-state rivals. This comes just three weeks after they blew out the Jayhawks on their home floor.
Kamau Stokes had 12 points to lead Kansas State, who had just one player finish in double figures in the loss. Dean Wade was held to just eight points and five rebounds before fouling out late in the second half. Barry Brown Jr. was a major disappointment on this night, shooting just 1-for-8 for four points in an overall tough night for the road team.
The Jayhawks will have to put together a major run to finish on top in the conference, as they move on to visit the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday afternoon. The Wildcats will host the Baylor Bears on Saturday night.
