WACO, Texas — Kansas coach Bill Self is going for comic relief after the biggest blown lead in a loss in the storied program's history. Self joked that the oranges Baylor provided at halftime were the reason for the Bears' rally from 21 points down late in the first half of an 81-70 victory. The stunning reversal topped the 20-point lead Kansas blew to Arizona, which was No. 1, at famed Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 27, 2003. Kansas' biggest lead was 38-17, and the margin was 40-21 at halftime. But Baylor had runs of 26-6 and 26-7 as part of a 60-point second half.
