WACO, Texas (AP) — Jared Butler had a season-high 30 points and eight assists as No. 2 Baylor remained undefeated with a 77-69 victory over No. 9 Kansas.

The Jayhawks have lost consecutive Big 12 games for the first time in nearly eight years.

Butler made the first of his seven 3-pointers on the first shot of the game, part of an opening 11-2 spurt by the the 13-0 Bears.

Kansas played for the first time since a 75-70 loss last Tuesday at Oklahoma State before the Jayhawks' scheduled game Saturday was postponed because of COVID-19 issues in Iowa State's program.
