There’s no need for Kansas to cancel its order for “15 straight” Big 12 title T-shirts and hats.
Not yet anyway.
Inspired by a stellar performance by junior forward Mitch Lightfoot (nine points, six rebounds and three blocks), the Jayhawks remained in contention for a 15th consecutive Big 12 regular-season men’s basketball championship by upending Kansas State 64-49 on Monday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
In extending their home winning streak over rival K-State to 13 games, the No. 15-ranked Jayhawks (21-7, 10-5) trail league-leading No. 16 K-State (21-7, 11-4) by one game with three to play.
