Kansas Texas Tech Recap

Kansas scored the first five points of the game and early on you could tell that the Jayhawks were hungry for #12.

Tech hung close in the first half for a while, but before you could blink Kansas turned a 19-16 lead to 29-18.  KU would eventually take a 37-29 halftime lead into the half.

Kansas came out possessed in the second half and opened up an 18-point lead.  Tech would make a run at KU but could only get as close at 8 the rest of the way.

Final score: Kansas 67, Texas Tech 58
