MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - The Jayhawks took Manhattan again. No. 6 Kansas' 71-62 victory over Kansas State on Monday night was its 24th straight in Manhattan, extending a streak that began before any of the Jayhawks were born.
Kansas hasn't lost here since a 58-57 defeat on Jan. 29, 1983, in Ahearn Fieldhouse the Wildcats' old home gym. But while there's some relief at not breaking the string, the important thing for Kansas is that the Jayhawks (24-4, 11-2 Big 12) now lead No. 8 Texas A&M by a half-game in the conference standings.
"We can't get happy with ourselves now," said sophomore guard Mario Chalmers, who scored 17 points. "We've got to keep getting better every game."
