No. 25 Kansas dominated Princeton 76-57 on Saturday, with Flory Bidunga's career-high 25 points leading the charge. Bidunga's impressive performance, which included 10 of 11 field goal attempts, helped the Jayhawks pull away in the second half after a closely contested first half. Kansas used a pivotal 17-3 run midway through the second half to blow open the game and secure a double-digit lead. Tre White added 18 points to the Jayhawks' cause, while Princeton was led by Dalen Davis with 21 points and Jack Stanton with 15. The Tigers had kept pace with the Jayhawks in the first half, holding an 18-13 lead at the 10:44 mark. However, a 9-0 run by Kansas gave the Jayhawks the lead, and they never looked back. Bidunga's late surge in the half saw him take the lead in scoring with 15 points, and the Jayhawks went into halftime with a 37-29 advantage. The teams will meet again on Tuesday night, with Princeton taking on Iona in New Rochelle, N.Y., and Kansas facing Duke in the State Farm Champions Classic in New York.
