Baylor came about as close to its first win in Lawrence as it could.
After an abysmal start to the first half, the Baylor Bears roared back in the final 15 minutes of the game to lose 70-67 to the Kansas Jayhawks with a chance to take a tying shot on the final possession.
Starting at the 16:35 mark of the second half, Baylor went on a 12-3 run to bring the game to a 45-47 Jayhawk advantage with 11:16 on the clock. Nuni Omot took over on offense, making a layup and 7 free throws over the next five minutes — which included a Jo Lual-Acuil dunk — to give Baylor its first lead of the game 56-54 with 5:36 remaining.
