Xavier Henry scored 18 of his 23 points in the first half and No. 1 Kansas clinched at least a share of its sixth straight Big 12 regular season title with an easy 81-68 victory over Oklahoma on Monday night.
Kansas (27-1, 13-0) didn't wait to clinch its latest title,
sewing it up with three games left after doing it in the final week
the past three seasons. The Jayhawks overwhelmed Oklahoma (13-14,
4-9) from the start, building a 17-point lead in the first half and
shooting 51 percent overall to extend the Sooners' Lawrence losing
streak to 10 games.
Sherron Collins added 17 points and joined fellow senior Brady
Morningstar for their 124th win together, most all-time in Kansas
history. The Jayhawks have won 13 straight games for their best
start since opening 34-1 in 1996-97 and have the nation's longest
home winning streak at 58 games.
