It has the players and the voter-supported ranking. What it doesn’t have is the monumental victories it takes to legitimize the program. And that didn’t change Wednesday night. Tenth-ranked Kansas (19-5, 9-2 Big 12) came into the Ferrell Center and easily dispatched the No. 6 Bears.

1. Missouri’s road win at Oklahoma Monday night cannot be undersold. This was a huge moment for the Tigers as Missouri could have easily slipped after beating Kansas Saturday. “We played late Saturday night in an emotional game and then played early Monday,” Mizzou coach Frank Haith said after the game. “This team won one road game last season. We’re 4-2 on the road now.’’ Mizzou has three road games left this season: at Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Kansas.

AUSTIN, Texas — Maybe it wasn’t a spot that Bill Self wanted to be in, down four and on the road, facing the leading scorer in the Big 12 who suddenly had a hot hand. And, oh yeah, there were just three minutes left. But it was a spot the Kansas coach relished. “We needed that,” Self said. The Jayhawks hadn’t been in a one-possession game since facing Georgetown in Maui in November. They won that one. The No. 7 Jayhawks (16-3, 6-0) won this one too, 69-66 over Texas (12-7, 2-4) in front of 16,734 fans at the Frank Erwin Center on Saturday.
