Jeff Withey scored a career-high 25 points and Kansas went ahead to stay during a stretch without Thomas Robinson as the seventh-ranked Jayhawks had another convincing victory over sixth-ranked Baylor, winning 68-54 Wednesday night.

After a 14-3 run over the final 4 1/2 minutes of the first half
with Robinson on the bench to take its first lead, Kansas (19-5,
9-2 Big 12) scored 14 consecutive points early in the second half
to take complete control of the game.

The Jayhawks, coming off a 74-71 loss at fourth-ranked Missouri
on Saturday, grabbed a share of the Big 12 lead with the Tigers.

Baylor (21-3, 8-3) was 17-0 with the longest winning streak in
school history before a 92-74 loss at Kansas just more than three
weeks ago. The Bears followed that with a one-point home loss to
Missouri, where they play their next game Saturday.Whatever Tyshawn
Taylor and the rest of his Kansas teammates did to motivate 7-foot
Jeff Withey certainly worked.
