No. 8 Kansas 84, Oklahoma 62
Bill Self refused to let his team look past Oklahoma to a high-profile showdown with border rival Missouri, even though his own mind might have slipped that way a time or two.
Given the way No. 8 Kansas had played lately, they weren't always pleasant thoughts.
That certainly changed Wednesday night, though, when Thomas Robinson had 20 points and 17 rebounds to lead the Jayhawks...

Despite loss, Kansas' Robinson still impresses
COLUMBIA, Mo. In the moments after Missouri clinched its first victory over his team in three years, junior forward Thomas Robinson hunched over and dipped his head toward the court.
He had finished with a team-high 25 points and 13 rebounds in Kansas' 74-71 loss Saturday at Mizzou Arena. But another consistent performance for the national player-of-the-year frontrunner was...

1. Is Kansas Going to be the hardest team to predict in the tourney?
George
I think, after UK and UNC, that Kansas is the most talented team in the nation. The problem is, talent only goes so far. Consistency by TRob and Tyshawn Taylor is sorely lacking. They get beat by Mizzou by a few points but blow out Baylor twice. This team is the reason I hate my brackets but love filling...

Kansas' Withey rebounds, dominates Baylor
WACO, Texas Jeff Withey had a bad week, and he has a sore chest to prove it.
The Kansas center had scored no points in Kansas' loss to Missouri on Saturday, and his teammates had spent the last few days punishing him for that transgression by blasting him in the chest.
Really.

Yes, he said finally, Kansas-Missouri is a little more meaningful than a typical Big 12 game.
