COLUMBIA, Mo. — Marcus Morris and Thomas Robinson had double-doubles and 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 No. 2 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 a season-worst 29.3 percent shooting. Kansas has won 10 of 11 heading into the conference tournament this week.
