Texas Tech coach Billy Gillispie at least hoped that senior night might be so emotional for No. 9 Baylor that his Red Raiders would be able to take advantage. Not a chance. After being recognized before the Bears' home finale Monday night as the winningest senior class in school history, Quincy Acy, Fred Ellis and Anthony Jones easily got their 95th victory, 77-48 over the Red Raiders. “You don't get a win just because it's senior night. But they played, and they made it a special night because of their play,” Gillispie said. “Those guys have had great careers here. They've won a lot of games. My hat's off to them, and hopefully they'll do very well in the postseason.” Perry Jones III, the sophomore who is not related to Anthony, had 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Bears (25-5, 12-5 Big 12). A.J. Walton scored a season-high 13 points, while Anthony Jones also had 13 and Acy 12. Even the little-used Ellis, who hadn't scored a point since Dec. 19, made two free throws. Walton matched his season-high with 10 points before halftime, when the Bears were already in total control. Baylor closed the first half on a 25-4 run over the final 10:05, stretching its lead to 40-15. Texas Tech (8-21, 1-16) didn't even have 20 points in the game until Jordan Tolbert's dunk with 14:33 left made it 49-21. Tolbert finished with 19 points. No. 3 Kansas beats OSU 70-58: Tyshawn Taylor scored 27 points, Thomas Robinson added 17 points and 11 rebounds and No. 3 Kansas claimed the Big 12 title outright by beating Oklahoma State 70-58 on Monday night Taylor scored 10 straight points in the final 5 minutes to close it out, ensuring that the Jayhawks (25-5, 15-2) wouldn't suffer a similar fate as in their last two visits to Gallagher-Iba. Unranked Oklahoma State teams had upset top 5 Kansas teams in 2008 and 2010 but there was a different script this time. No. 11 Georgetown 59, No. 20 Notre Dame 41: Before heading out to the court to finish pregame warmups on “Senior Day,” Georgetown huddled up in a hallway with its two departing players, Jason Clark and Henry Sims. A voice shouted out: “We've got to go out with a bang, fellas! We've got to out with a bang!” Sure did. Playing at home for the last time, Clark and Sims combined for 25 points, 12 rebounds and six assists, and No. 11 Georgetown used its typically tough defense to beat No. 20 Notre Dame in a key game for Big East tournament seeding. Georgetown (22-6, 12-5) held Notre Dame (20-10, 12-5) to 33 percent field goal shooting, including 3 for 17 on 3-point attempts (17.6 percent), and no one scored more for the Irish than the nine points from Eric Atkins and Scott Martin. Jack Cooley had two points and zero rebounds in 25 minutes.
