CHICAGO (AP) – Tekele Cotton hit four 3-pointers and finished with 16 points to lead No. 15 Wichita State to a 67-53 victory over Loyola of Chicago on Sunday.

Ron Baker scored 15. Fred VanVleet added 14 points and 10 assists, and the Shockers (14-2, 4-0 Missouri Valley Conference) took control in the second half. They outscored the Ramblers (12-4, 2-2) 44-25 after trailing by five at the break to pick up their 22nd straight league win.

Earl Peterson led Loyola with 13 points and Devon Turk scored 11. The emerging Ramblers hit 10 of 18 3-pointers but simply came up short down the stretch against the league’s powerhouse.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) – Marcus Foster scored 23 points off the bench and Kansas State took advantage of some cold shooting by TCU for a 58-53 victory Wednesday night that snapped a three-game losing streak.

Kansas State led most of the way, but TCU was still within 48-44 with 1:14 left when Nino Williams was fouled near midcourt. The senior forward was hurt on the play, and Foster was picked to shoot the free throws, calmly draining both to extend the Wildcats’ lead.

Kyan Anderson missed a jumper at the other end, and the ball wound up in the hands of Foster, who had been benched the past two games. He made two more foul shots to put the game away.

Williams finished with eight points and nine rebounds for the Wildcats (8-7, 1-1 Big 12), who appeared to have put a horrendous nonconference season behind them. Their seven wins before the start of league play was their fewest since 2001-02.

Trey Zeigler had 19 points to lead the Horned Frogs, who started 13-0 but have dropped their first two Big 12 games. Anderson, their top scorer, had eight points on 2-for-7 shooting.

WACO, Texas (AP) – Wayne Selden made three consecutive baskets when No. 12 Kansas needed them most, and the Jayhawks held on for a 56-55 victory over No. 21 Baylor on Wednesday night to win their 24th consecutive conference opener.

Selden was 1-for-6 shooting before scoring seven points in a row, including a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 2:17 left that put the Jayhawks (12-2, 1-0 Big 12) ahead to stay.

A jumper by Selden with 2:59 left tied the game, and he added a layup with 1:19 to go.

Jamari Traylor had 13 points for Kansas before fouling out with more than five minutes left. Brannen Greene scored 12, including two free throws with 6.3 seconds remaining.

Kenny Chery led Baylor (11-3, 0-2) with 25 points.

Kansas hasn’t lost a conference opener since January 1991, when the Jayhawks were still in the Big Eight.
