LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) --- Tre White scored a season-high 23 points and No. 14
Kansas bounced back from a surprising defeat with a 69-56 victory over No. 5
Houston on Monday night.
Freshman star Darryn Peterson added 14 points on 5-of-14 shooting in 30 minutes
for the Jayhawks (21-7, 11-4 Big 12), who fell six spots in this week's AP Top
25 following an 84-68 loss at home Saturday to unranked Cincinnati.
Bryson Tiller had 11 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks for Kansas, which
handed the scuffling Cougars (23-5, 11-4) their third consecutive defeat ---
all against top-15 opponents.
Houston hadn't dropped three straight games since 2017.
