 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Kansas and Texas have played some memorable games in recent years. This may have been the best of the bunch. Mario Chalmers had a career-high 30 points and eight of Kansas' tournament-record 15 3-pointers, helping the fifth-ranked Jayhawks beat No. 6 Texas 84-74 on Sunday for their third straight Big 12 title over the Longhorns.
Brandon Rush hit six 3-pointers for Kansas (31-3), which was 15-for-25 from behind the arc, breaking the tournament record of 14 set by Colorado in 1995 and matched by Missouri in 2001.
Darrell Arthur had 16 points — three more than his two previous games combined — and the Jayhawks had 25 assists on 26 field goals to win their sixth Big 12 title in 12 years.
