The first-ever meeting between the two programs in Lawrence, Kan., turned into a physical battle that had Kansas.
Kansas, playing without point guard Dajuan Harris Jr. for the first time in nearly five years, had just enough Tuesday night to edge UCF 91-87.
Adam Miller scored 18 points and Arizona State kept Colorado winless in the Big 12, beating the Buffaloes 70-68 in a frantic finish.
