WACO -- Kansas is bound for another Big 12 regular-season title, its 13th consecutive championship in a remarkable run.
Baylor is about to undergo the soul-searching that the Jayhawks often induce this time of year.
A 67-65 Kansas victory Saturday at the Ferrell Center illustrated why the Jayhawks raise banners so regularly. A six-point Baylor lead with 3 1/2 minutes to play evaporated into a gut-wrenching loss.
Center Landen Lucas, a 59 percent free throw shooter, made both attempts with 11.5 seconds remaining after a clutch offensive rebound. Then Kansas took away prefferred Baylor option Johnathan Motley on the final play, forcing an errant shot by hobbled point guard Manu Lecomte.
