LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Canadian Andrew Wiggins exacted a little bit of revenge on Texas. So did the rest of the Kansas Jayhawks. On the eve of his 19th birthday, the freshman from Vaughan, Ont., put on a dazzling display of outside shooting and rim-rattling dunks. Wiggins finished with 21 points to lead the eighth-ranked Jayhawks to an 85-54 rout of No. 19 Texas, helping them seize control of the Big 12 race. It was a far different outcome than the first time the teams met, three weeks ago in Austin. Texas rolled to an 81-69 victory, and Wiggins managed seven points on 2-for-12 shooting. "We wanted to come out aggressive," Wiggins said. "Last time we got embarrassed at their place. We wanted to do the same thing to them, win every minute of every possession." They just about accomplished it. Joel Embiid added 13 points, seven rebounds and six blocks for the Jayhawks (21-6, 12-2), who lead the league race by three games with four to play. Kansas can wrap up at least a share of its 10th straight title when Oklahoma visits Allen Fieldhouse on Monday night. "That was our first goal to start the year off, to win a 10th straight Big 12 championship," said Frank Mason, who had 14 points off the bench. "Thats still our goal." Jonathan Holmes scored 17 points and Cameron Ridley had 11 for Texas, but they were about the only guys wearing burnt orange who seemed to solve the Jayhawks gritty man-to-man defence. Freshman guard Isaiah Taylor was held to just five points on 1-for-14 shooting, while Javan Felix was 2 of 9 from the field and finished with six points. "I talk about our guys not being as tough as wed like them to be, which were not, but they are prideful," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Texas whipped us down there the first time. I said all along this game wasnt about the league race as much as it was playing Texas." The game actually played out in similar fashion to the first meeting, only this time it was Kansas that played flawlessly and Texas that looked like a mess. After the Longhorns jumped out to an 8-3 lead, they managed just one field goal over an 11-minute stretch as the Jayhawks launched a 32-5 run that put the game away. "They were really good, obviously, and you got to know after we played as well as we played against them the first time they were going to be ready to play," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. Wiggins led the way for Kansas, at one point scoring 12 points during a particularly brutal 14-0 spurt. He did it in dazzling fashion, too: There was the soaring fast-break dunk, the back-to-back 3-pointers, and the alley-oop jam off a pass from Wayne Selden Jr. that left the crowd roaring so loudly that the field house floor was shaking. "When I score early, it brings a lot of confidence to my game, especially when I hit a 3. I get on fire," Wiggins said. "My teammates did a good job of getting me the ball." By the time Connor Lammert finally hit a 3-pointer with about 5 minutes left in the half, the lead had ballooned to 28-13 and the Longhorns had exhausted nearly all their timeouts. "It can get away from you quick," Holmes said. "One or two possessions, you can look and youre down by six, eight and then 10 and then the game is over pretty much after that." Just how bad were the Longhorns in the first half? Try 6 of 29 from the field and 5 of 12 from the foul line, with five turnovers and three assists. They were dominated on the boards, dominated in the paint and, well, dominated just about everywhere else, too. Taylor, who had 23 points in the first meeting with Kansas, was 0 for 10 from the field as the Jayhawks built a 46-18 halftime advantage. And even when Texas managed to score -- as it did out of the break -- Kansas often answered with two buckets in return. It kept going like that throughout the second half as the Jayhawks outscored Texas 26-0 in transition and 38-22 in the paint, allowing them to empty their bench early. "I think we should give a refund to the fans," Barnes said. "Topeka YMCA probably would have given them a little better game, because we didnt give them a good game at all."

Sean Millers Wildcats made light work of Oregon on Wednesday night, cruising by the Ducks, 90-56. The victory was the fifth straight for Arizona overall and the 33rd straight at the McKale Center, the second-longest active homecourt winning streak in the nation. With the rout of the Ducks, the Wildcats moved to 19-2 on the season and sit atop the Pac-12 standings at 7-1. Wayne Tinkles Beavers are looking to salvage their current road trip to the desert. Oregon State dropped a 73-55 decision to Arizona State in Tempe on Wednesday, halting a three-game win streak. The loss to the Sun Devils leaves OSU at 14-6 overall and 5-3 in league play, good for fourth place in the standings. Arizona holds a 58-21 advantage in the all-time series with Oregon State, but it is the Beavers seeking the regular-season sweep, after ending a seven-game losing streak to the Wildcats, with a stunning 58-56 upset in Corvallis back on Jan. 11. Gary Payton II poured in a game-high 23 points, but it wasnt even remotely enough to keep the Beavers competitive, as they dropped an 18-point decision to the Sun Devils at Wells Fargo Arena on Wednesday. Payton was joined in double figures by Malcolm Duvivier and Jarmal Reid, who finished with 14 and 13 points, respectively. The Beavers connected on a strong 49 percent of their shots, but managed just five total points from the rest of the roster in the loss. The Beavers arent really known for their offensive prowess this season, as they put up just 63.7 ppg on .442 shooting. However, the defensive effort has been a strength for the most part, as OSU limits foes to just 56.9 ppg on a mere .366 shooting that includes just a .283 mark from behind the arc. PPayton is a do-it-all player that finds a way to contribute at both ends of the floor.dddddddddddd Despite his size (6-3), the junior leads the Beavers in scoring (13.2 ppg), rebounding (8.2 rpg) and steals (58). The team is missing some scoring punch with a 10-game suspension levied on Victor Robbins (10.3 ppg), although Langston Morris-Walker (10.0 ppg), Duvuvier (9.6 ppg) and Olaf Schaftenaar (9.5 ppg) have tried to fill the void. For the second time this season, Arizona humbled the Oregon Ducks. After rolling to an 80-62 victory in Eugene a couple of weeks ago, the Wildcats distanced themselves further from Oregon on Wednesday night, earning a 34- point win. Arizona put on an offensive clinic in the victory, shooting a scalding .593 from the floor overall, as six Wildcats finished in double figures in the balanced attack. Gabe York paced the team with 16 points. Brandon Ashley finished with 13, while Stanley Johnson (12 pts), Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (11 pts), Kaleb Tarczewski (11 pts) and T.J. McConnell (10 pts) joined the fun as well. The Wildcats are starting to peak and that wont be good for the rest of the Pac-12. Arizona has shown very few weaknesses this season and enters this contest with an inflated +16.4 scoring margin as a result. The team is shooting .498 from the field en route to 75.7 ppg, while holding foes to a meager 59.3 ppg on .402 shooting. UA also lives comfortably in terms of rebounding (+7.4) and turnover (+3.1) margins. Johnson is one of the Pac-12s young stars. The freshman forward can score from all over the floor and leads the team in both scoring (14.9 ppg) and rebounding (6.9 rpg). Frontcourt depth is a strength, with Ashley (11.3 ppg, 5.2 rpg), Hollis-Jefferson (10.9 ppg, 6.4 rpg) and Tarczewski (8.8 ppg, 4.9 rpg) all making sizable contributions. McConnell (9.0 ppg, 5.8 apg) and York (9.0 ppg) provide backcourt balance. ' ' '
