College Men's Hoops | No. 1 Kansas wins at UCLA

LOS ANGELES — Two storied programs met in a game that two seasons ago would have ensured plenty of buzz.

Instead, it was a tale of the nation's top-ranked team beating up on a downtrodden program cleaned out by the lure of the NBA draft.

Markief Morris scored a career-high 19 points and No. 1 Kansas pulled away in the second half to defeat UCLA 73-61 Sunday, sending the Bruins to their fourth consecutive loss.

"They've had a lot of defections to the NBA and it's hard to keep reloading," Kansas coach Bill Self said.

Xavier Henry added 16 points for the Jayhawks (7-0).

Michael Roll led UCLA (2-5) with 16 points.
