The Kansas schools continued to show this week why they are atop the Big 12 standings.

While the Jayhawks dismantled under performing Oklahoma, the Wildcats won by nearly 20 in Lubbock, TX.

... so in honor of the Kansas schools, I give you Toto performing Africa. (get it? Toto. Kansas. eh? eh? Yeah, you probably got it.)

(1) Kansas - 81
Oklahoma - 68
in Lawrence, KS

Sherron Collins didn't expect the Big 12 championship trophy to be there, at least not until No. 1 Kansas clinched the title outright. He didn't seek the hardware out, either, willing to let his teammates share in the glory.

Yet, once it was in Collins' hands, the senior could feel the enormity of the moment, the emotion and pride of doing something no other player in Kansas' storied history had ever done.

(6) Kansas St - 83
Texas Tech - 64
in Lubbock, TX

Jacob Pullen sees his Kansas State team operating on the road like a corporation.

It seems the approach is working as the sixth-ranked Wildcats have lost only one of seven conference games away from home.

"For us, we have to handle this as business," Pullen said after scoring 21 of his 28 points in the first half to lead Kansas State to an 83-64 victory against Texas Tech on Tuesday night. "If you're McDonald's or Wendy's, you don't want Wendy's selling more than McDonald's if you're McDonald's. And so we have to make sure that we stay in front. So we handle stuff as a business, as a corporation for all our road trips."

Kansas State (23-4, 10-3) won its sixth straight overall to remain alive for a possible tie for the Big 12 championship with No. 1 Kansas.

(24) Baylor - 70
(22) Texas A&M - 66
in Waco, TX

LaceDarius Dunn let go of the shot from the top of the key, and the ball hit the rim a couple of times before finally falling through the hoop for Baylor.

"I popped back and I was wide open," Dunn said.

The next one from the right corner swished the net.

Those consecutive 3-pointers late by Dunn in a 33-second span, both coming right after Texas A&M had made 3s, kept the No. 24 Bears in front and they held on for a 70-66 victory over the No. 22 Aggies on Wednesday night.

(21) Texas - 69
Oklahoma St - 59
in Austin, TX

After a month of losses, a key injury and mounting frustration, No. 21 Texas needed something good to happen.

The Longhorns got it in Dexter Pittman's best game in weeks and a standout defensive performance against Big 12 scoring leader James Anderson in 69-59 win over Oklahoma State on Wednesday night.
