LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) Tre White scored a season-high 23 points and No. 14 Kansas<\/a> bounced back from a surprising defeat with a 69-56 victory over No. 5 Houston<\/a> on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Freshman star Darryn Peterson added 14 points on 5-of-14 shooting in 30 minutes for the Jayhawks (21-7, 11-4 Big 12), who fell six spots in this week’s AP Top 25 following an 84-68 loss at home Saturday to unranked Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

Bryson Tiller had 11 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks for Kansas, which handed the scuffling Cougars (23-5, 11-4) their third consecutive defeat – all against top-15 opponents.<\/p>\n

Houston hadn’t dropped three straight games since 2017.<\/p>\n
