give the Jayhawks (10-3) their third win in four games. Cole Aldrich had 22
points and 10 rebounds on 10-of-14 shooting, and Tyshawn Taylor posted 12

recorded 17 points, eight rebounds and six blocks in the loss.
Bobby Maze had 14 points, as the Vols shot just 34.6 percent from three-point
range and 39.4 percent overall.

the game. The Jayhawks continued to dominate, using an 11-0 run to take a 25-9
edge on Morningstar's three.
Tennessee answered with the next seven points to cut their deficit to nine,
but Collins put the Jayhawks up 35-20 on a driving layup with six minutes
left.
Collins had 14 points to lead all scorers at the break, and Kansas held a 40-
31 halftime edge after Scottie Hopson hit a deuce for Tennessee.
The Jayhawks maintained a double-digit advantage for most of the early second
half, and Taylor's layup with 11:42 left put the hosts up 59-44.
Down 73-59 with six minutes left, Tennessee made an attempt at a comeback. The
Vols cut their deficit to 77-70 with an 11-4 burst ending on Cameron Tatum's
three-pointer with 4 1/2 minutes to play, but Kansas increased its lead to 12
on Collins' two free throws with 1:53 left.
The Vols got to within six in the final minute as Chism drained a trey, but
Kansas made its free throws down the stretch to secure the victory.
