Big 12 Tournament 2016: Semifinal #1 Recap

The Kansas Jayhawks sweep the season series against the Baylor Bears and keep a firm grasp on the #1 overall seed for the 2016 NCAA Tournament.

In the first Big 12 Tournament action since the Buddy Hield and Georges Niang show, the Kansas Jayhawks systematically wore down the offensively challenged Baylor Bears.

Kansas 70 Baylor 66
