The Jayhawks (29-2, 14-2) committed a season-worst 24 turnovers, but dominated inside and held Missouri (22-9, 8-8) to season-worst 29.3 percent shooting. They have won 10 of 11 heading into the conference tournament.

Thompson had 19 points and 13 rebounds, nine of them on the offensive end and several leading to spectacular putback dunks, and the seventh-ranked Longhorns pulled out a victory that marked another blow to Baylor's NCAA tournament hopes.
