At a point in the schedule when teams are prone to sleepy play, the Kansas men’s basketball team instead woke all the way up. Charged with turning in one more strong performance before a lengthy holiday break, the Jayhawks scored 51 points by halftime, their highest-scoring half of the season, and didn’t let up all that much after the break on their way to a 90-61 victory over Davidson on Monday night at ...
