KU Sports

CHICAGO — Fueled by a critical run of 12 straight points early in the second half, the 15th-ranked Kansas men’s basketball team defeated No. 24 Kentucky in resounding fashion, 89-69, on Tuesday night in the Champions Classic.

“I feel like we stayed foot on the gas tonight,” fifth-year guard Tre White said. “We didn’t get complacent.”. Facing the primary recruiting rival he spurned in favor of KU, freshman forward Tyran Stokes did a bit of everything for the Jayhawks and came away with 23 points and 10 rebounds for a double-double. White was KU’s leading scorer with a career-high 30 points and added six boards of his own, and Trey Kaufman-Renn chipped in 12 points, six rebounds and six assists for the Jayhawks.
