 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Brandon Rush scored six points in a 15-4 run and No. 5 Kansas overcame its worst half of the season Friday night, erasing a shocking nine-point Nebraska lead and beating the Huskers 64-54 in the Big 12 tournament.
Kansas (29-3), a 15-point favorite over a team it had beaten 10 straight times and 19 of 20, had 12 turnovers and only eight field goals in a ragged and sloppy first half. The hugely partisan crowd in Kansas City's new Sprint Center sat in stunned silence as Nebraska gathered momentum and confidence and began to look almost dominant.
But Darnell Jackson scored the first basket of the second half, then Mario Chalmers made a long 3-pointer to launch the comeback and Nebraska (19-12) never recovered.
