Fifth-ranked UConn has beaten No. 21 Kansas 61-56. Solo Ball and Braylon Mullins each scored 17 points for the Huskies, helping them overcome a seven-point deficit in the second half. It was UConn’s fourth win over a ranked opponent this season. Kansas had a chance to tie the game late, but Mullins blocked a crucial shot by Jamari McDowell in the final seconds.
