Flo Thamba scored 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds and Jeremy Sochan added 17 points with five boards as Baylor, which trailed by 13 points with 5:48 left in the first half, attained a split in the regular-season series between the teams for the third straight season.
Adam Flagler had 13 points and James Akinjo added 12 points for the No. 10-ranked Bears, who by winning prevented KU from sealing at least a tie for the Big 12 regular-season title.
