LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Flory Bidunga scored a career-high 25 points, hitting 10 of his 11 field goal attempts, as No. 25 Kansas beat Princeton 76-57 on Saturday.
Kansas (3-1) used a 17-3 run midway through the second half to blow open a close game. Tre White added 18 points for the Jayhawks.
Princeton (2-2) was led by Dalen Davis with 21 points. Jack Stanton had 15 and Jackson Hicke added 12.
After Kansas opened up a 10-point lead at the start of the second half, Stanton hit a pair of 3-pointers, one on a 4-point play, to trim the deficit to just 39-36. The Jayhawks had trouble pulling away, and when Davis hit a 3-pointer with 14:23 left, the lead was just 44-43.
But when Jayden Dawson made a 3-pointer less than two minutes later, Kansas again led by double digits. The Jayhawks’ largest lead was 73-51.
Princeton played at its pace in the first half, holding an 18-13 lead at the 10:44 mark. A 9-0 run that took more than five minutes gave Kansas the lead, but the Tigers stayed close. Kansas finished the half on a 7-2 run and led 37-29 at halftime.
Bidunga stepped up late in the half and led all scorers with 15 points. Davis led Princeton with 13 points.
