STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) Tyshawn Taylor scored 27 points, Thomas Robinson added 17 points and 11 rebounds and No. 3 Kansas claimed the Big 12 title outright by beating Oklahoma State 70-58 on Monday night. Taylor scored 10 straight points in the final 5 minutes to close it out, ensuring that the Jayhawks (25-5, 15-2) wouldn’t suffer a similar fate as in their last two visits to Gallagher-Iba. Unranked Oklahoma State teams had upset top 5 Kansas teams in 2008 and 2010 but there was a different script this time. Keiton Page hit seven 3-pointers and scored 29 points in his final home game for the Cowboys (14-16, 7-10) and Brian Williams added 20 points but Kansas was able to withstand every charge. The Jayhawks outscored short-handed OSU 34-8 in the paint and shot 52 percent.
