No. 14 Kansas bounced back from a surprising defeat with a 69-56 victory over No. 5 Houston on Monday night. Freshman star Darryn Peterson added 14 points on 5-of-14 shooting in 30 minutes for the Jayhawks (21-7, 11-4 Big 12), who fell six spots in the AP Top 25 after losing to unranked Cincinnati. Tre White scored a season-high 23 points, powering the rebound. Houston shot just 32% from the field, including 5 of 24 (21%) from three-point range, and hadn't dropped three straight games since January 2017. The loss extended Houston's skid to three consecutive defeats against top-15 opponents.
