LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Top-ranked Kansas avoided any chance of a letdown after its high-profile win over Baylor by blowing out Oklahoma State 83-58. Udoka Azubuike led Kansas with 19 points and 16 rebounds. Ochai Agbaji scored 15 points, Devon Dotson added 11 points and Christian Braun and David McCormack had 10 apiece for the Jayhawks. Kansas regained the top spot in the AP poll earlier in the day thanks to its victory over now-No. 2 Baylor. Cameron McGriff led the Cowboys with 16 points, though most came with the game well out of reach. Isaac Likekele and Lindy Waters added 11 apiece.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Andrew Jones scored 22 points to lead Texas past No. 20 West Virginia 67-57 as the injury-depleted Longhorns continued a late-season surge. Courtney Ramey added 21 points for Texas. The Longhorns have won three in a row. The Mountaineers have lost six straight on the road in the Big 12. West Virginia dominated the first matchup, a 38-point victory back on Jan. 20. But Texas was anything but the timid team that got pushed around in Morgantown. Oscar Tshiebwe scored 14 points to lead West Virginia.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas is back on top of the college basketball world after knocking off Baylor. And the Bears dropped to No. 2 in The Associated Press men's poll following the close loss. The Jayhawks took over the No. 1 ranking for the second time this season following a week there in December. The Bears fell to second after their 23-game winning streak ended. Gonzaga was No. 3 after a loss to BYU. And Dayton leapfrogged San Diego State for No. 4 following the Aztecs' first loss of the season. They were followed by Florida State, Duke, Kentucky, Maryland and Creighton in rounding out the top 10. Every team in the top 10 found itself in a new position from last week.
NEW YORK (AP) — South Carolina still leads the way in The Associated Press women's college basketball poll in a week that saw seven ranked teams fall to unranked opponents. The top of the poll was unscathed with none of the first seven teams losing. The No. 1 Gamecocks received 27 of 30 first-place votes from the national media panel a day after clinching their fifth Southeastern Conference title in seven years. No. 2 Baylor got two first-place votes and No. 3 Oregon got one. Stanford and Louisville round out the top five teams in the poll. TCU enters the rankings for the first time in two years, coming in at No. 25.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Te'a Cooper scored 17 points and second-ranked Baylor clinched a share of its 10th consecutive Big 12 regular-season women's championship with a 64-39 victory over West Virginia on Monday night. Baylor also cemented the top seed in the conference tournament and won its 56th straight regular-season game in the conference. The Lady Bears can clinch the title outright with a win Saturday or with a loss by second-place TCU to Texas on Wednesday. Lauren Cox added 12 points and nine rebounds for Baylor. Kysre Gondrezick led West Virginia with 13 points.
UNDATED (AP) — The Duke baseball program is celebrating the first perfect game in program history. Bryce Jarvis struck out 15 while retiring all 27 batters in a 2-0 win over Cornell on Friday. There has been at least one perfect game in seven straight years in Division I baseball. It was the 18th nine-inning perfect game since the NCAA began tracking the statistic in 1957. There were two other no-hitters over the weekend. Mississippi's Doug Nikhazy, Drew McDaniel and Jackson Kimbrell combined for one against Xavier. UNC Greensboro's Jake Lewis and Austin Parsley teamed up for one against Fairfield.
