Baylor Overcomes 21-Point Deficit to Defeat No. 11 Kansas 81-70

Baylor executed a remarkable comeback to defeat No. 11 Kansas 81-70, overcoming a 21-point deficit, the largest in Kansas basketball history. After trailing 40-21 at halftime, Baylor dominated the second half with a 60-point performance, fueled by Robert Wright III's 24 points and Norchad Omier's double-double of 18 points and 16 rebounds. Kansas struggled offensively, shooting only 36% in the second half and committing seven turnovers, allowing Baylor to launch a decisive 19-2 run. The Bears took the lead for good with a crucial 3-pointer from Jalen Celestine late in the game, despite losing key player VJ Edgecombe to injury. Hunter Dickinson led Kansas with 20 points but fouled out in the final minutes, contributing to the Jayhawks' collapse. This loss marks a historic low for the Kansas program, which will look to rebound against No. 3 Iowa State next.
