Kansas: Bidunga, after scoring just two points on a last-second tipin in the first half, scored 17 in the second half and overtime for a career-high 19. With K.J. Adams out with a separated shoulder, Bidunga’s contributions helped Kansas against a strong Houston front line.

Key moment

Houston used a 13-0 run early in the second half to turn a 40-31 deficit into a lead. Kansas went 6:21 without a point, and missed eight straight shots during the run, including a missed breakaway dunk attempt by Shakeel Moore.

Key stat

Both teams missed plenty of opportunities. The teams combined to shoot 56% from the free-throw line. Houston missed its first eight free throws of the second half and finished the half just 4-of-13 from the line, and was 14-of-25 for the game.

The Jayhawks were 17-of-30 from the line.

Up next

Houston travels to West Virginia on Wednesday night and Kansas hosts UCF on Tuesday night.
