Second half free throws help KU get over another Big Monday hump
Russell Robinson hit two huge free throws to ice the victory. A late OU three-pointer from the corner was nothing but cosmetic, as KU escaped with a 67-65 win.

KU, now 13-2 in the league, put the pressure on Texas A&M to win its Wednesday contest at Texas to keep up with the Jayhawks atop the Big 12 standings.
