The Texas A&M team that Big 12 coaches identified as a co-favorite showed up Monday and gave Kansas all it wanted.
The fifth-ranked Jayhawks prevailed 64-54, surviving a challenge from an Aggies team that had slipped to near the bottom of the league standings.
But A&M didn’t play like a team looking up in the standings ... and fifth-ranked Kansas looked nothing like a team that’s leading the Big 12 at 7-0 and 17-3 overall.
