Men

No. 23 Kansas 67, No. 15 Texas Tech 61

Christian Braun hit a corner 3 with 24 seconds left, David McCormack scored 17 points and No. 23 Kansas beat No. 15 Texas Tech on Saturday.

Ochai Agbaji had 14 points and Jalen Wilson added 11. Braun's 3 made it a two-possession game and essentially locked up the win for the Jayhawks (17-7, 11-5 Big 12).

“It was a big time shot, big time play,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “That’s the best we’ve played since Christmas.”

Braun and Marcus Garrett each finished with 10 points.

Marcus Santos-Silva and Kevin McCullar each scored 12 points, Mac McClung had 11 and Micah Peavy had 10 for Texas Tech (14-7, 6-6), which played its first game in 10 days but has dropped two straight.

“I think we played hard to the end, so give our guys credit,” Texas Tech coach Chris Beard said. “We need every player to play their game this time of the year and today we were just a few short.”

McCormack has scored in double figures in eight of his last nine games and started the game 7 for 7 from the field.

“I thought I had patience and had fun and played for others,” McCormack said. “We came out from the start and we need to carry this moving forward.”

Kansas led wire-to-wire and remained unbeaten since its record 231-week streak of being ranked was snapped earlier this month.

“We are a better team now than we were then,” Self said about his team since the last time they played Texas Tech in December. “I think both of us are better teams, but we’re not close to where we want to be.”

Wilson scored 10 points in the second half, including a key put-back in the final minute. Garrett played lock-down defense on McClung, who scored his second fewest points since the new year.

Kansas is gearing up for its toughest test of the season, going to No. 12 Texas then hosting No. 2 Baylor next Saturday.

“We get to take on two teams that clocked us the first time,” Self said. “But I’m leaving here the best I’ve felt about this group that I have all season.”

Winners of their last five games, the Jayhawks look to be hitting their stride at the right time. Their next two games against Texas and Baylor will be their toughest stretch of the season.

Texas Tech needed to shoot better from the 3-point line to have a chance. The Red Raiders have only won at Kansas once, the year they won the Big 12 in 2018.

No. 1 Gonzaga 106, San Diego 69

Drew Timme scored 17 of his 21 points in the first half, Jalen Suggs added 17 points and Gonzaga won its 26th straight game, routing San Diego.

Arsula Clark made a pair of free throws to bring the Green Wave within 69-65 with 2:48 left. But Harvey sank a pair of foul shots and Elisa Pinzan and Mununga made layups in consecutive possessions and the Bulls (13-1, 10-0 American Athletic Conference) were never threatened again.

No. 16 Gonzaga 69, San Diego 47

Against the third-place Toreros, who only played three games in January, including a 58-56 win over BYU because of coronavirus issues, Gonzaga (19-3, 14-1 West Coast Conference) hit 10 of 17 shots in the first quarter, including three 3s.

Ronsiek was 9-for-12 shooting and Carda, one of the few players to wear a mask while playing, was 6 of 9 as the Bluejays went 29 of 50, including 8 of 15 from 3-point range. For good measure they made their first 16 free throws, going 17 of 18.

Carly Bachelor added 13 points for Creighton (7-8, 6-5 Big East Conference), which has won three straight and beat a ranked team for the first team since winning at DePaul last season.

No. 19 West Virginia 81, TCU 78

Esmery Martinez scored 21 points and grabbed 12 rebounds and West Virginia overcame a 38-point performance by Lauren Heard and held on to defeat TCU.

Heard, whose previous career high was 34 when West Virginia won the first meeting 79-70, kept the Horned Frogs in the game but after Kirsten Deans made 1 of 2 free throws with 11 seconds left, TCU couldn’t get off a potential tying shot.

Deans scored 15 points and Kysre Gondrezick, who had 30 in the last meeting, added 14 for the Mountaineers (17-3, 11-3 Big 12 Conference), who were coming off a loss to Oklahoma that ended their 11-game winning streak.
