BOX SCORE
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ Jeff Boschee hit seven 3-pointers in the first half as No. 24 Kansas routed Kansas State 84-60 on Thursday in the first round of the Big 12 tournament and possibly Tom Asbury's last game as Wildcats' coach. Boschee, a streaky outside shooter, set the school record for 3-pointers in a half by going 7-for-8. He scored all 21 of his points in the first half as Kansas (23-8) romped to its 19th straight victory over Kansas State (9-19). Asbury, the object of increasing criticism after finishing last in the regular-season race and never beating Kansas, fell to 0-20 lifetime against the Jayhawks, including three games while he was at Pepperdine. In Friday's second round, the Jayhawks will play No. 17 Oklahoma State (23-5), which handed them the third-worst loss in school history on Feb. 7, 86-53. Asbury, who has two years left on his contract and has said he will not resign, also finished last in his first season at Kansas State in 1994-95. If this turns out to be his final year, he would leave with an 85-88 mark and be the first Kansas State coach with an overall losing record since Fritz Knorr in 1945. Boschee put up only one shot in the second half as Kansas shuffled reserves in and out of the game after taking a 50-23 halftime lead en route to its 10th straight Big 12 tournament victory. The Jayhawks led by as many as 37 twice during the second half Kenny Gregory finished with 12 points for Kansas, Nick Collison added 11 and Eric Chenowith and Marlon London had 10 apiece. Cortez Groves had 15 for Kansas State, which lost 16 of its last 18 games. | ALSO SEE Mens College Basketball Scoreboard
