COLUMBIA, Mo. — Marcus Morris and Thomas Robinson had double-doubles and No. 2 Kansas wrapped up its eighth straight Big 12 championship by holding on for a 70-66 win over No. 22 Missouri on Saturday that spoiled the Tigers' unbeaten home season.
Robinson had 15 points and 13 rebounds, returning to form less than a month after arthroscopic surgery on the right knee he injured against Missouri at home. Morris had 21 points and 10 rebounds for Kansas, which has won 14 of the last 17 in a lopsided border series.
The Jayhawks (29-2, 14-2 Big 12) committed a season-worst 24 turnovers, but dominated inside and held Missouri (22-9, 8-8) to season-worst 29.3 percent shooting, and have won 10 of 11 heading into the conference tournament. The Tigers have lost three in a row heading into the postseason and were 3-for-23 from 3-point range, many of them hurried attempts and several of them air balls.
