No. 9 Kansas still has a shot at a Big 12 regular-season title but will need to get past visiting BYU on Tuesday.
The Jayhawks are peaking at the right time and have won five of their last seven games. Kansas rolled Texas, 86-67, on Saturday night. Guard Kevin McCullar missed the game with a bone bruise, but Nick Timberlake started in his place and scored 13 points. McCullar, who is considered week-to-week, has missed four Big 12 games this season and is likely out against BYU.
Hunter Dickinson added 20 points, and KJ Adams had 16 for Kansas, which outscored Texas, 52-34, in the paint.
Kansas improved to 21-6 and 9-5 in the Big 12. The Jayhawks are two games behind first-place Houston in the conference regular-season championship race with four games remaining.
The Jayhawks are also getting more contributions from their bench. Entering Saturday's game, Kansas ranked No. 344 in bench points. The Jayhawks reserves scored seven points and avoided costly turnovers.
BYU lost for the second time in three games with an 84-74 setback to Kansas State at Bramlage Coliseum on Saturday.
The Cougars were held to a season-low six 3-pointers, going 6-of-31 from beyond the arc.
Jaxson Robinson scored 15 points to lead BYU (19-8 overall, 7-7 Big 12), while Noah Waterman and Spencer Johnson each scored 12 and Foussey Traore added 10.
The Cougars fell to 2-6 in conference road games.
