Houston — When Houston stunned Kansas in double overtime at Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 25, L.J. Cryer’s offensive production had little to do with it. The guard from Katy, Texas, scored just nine points in 48 minutes on that day. When the two teams faced off again on Monday night, Cryer had 18 by halftime.

For the first time in seven years and the second time in Bill Self’s 22 years as head coach, Kansas has lost three games at Allen Fieldhouse in a single season. On a day when they celebrated the building’s 70th anniversary, the unranked Jayhawks got outgunned by No. 10 Texas Tech, as the Red Raiders exploited KU’s post double-teams and suspect ball-screen defense to hit 10 3-pointers in the first half. ...
