KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Nike Presto Rojas . -- It took Carlton Bragg Jr. about 20 minutes to knock the rust off.Took about the same amount of time for Kansas.Playing for the first time in a week, the third-ranked Jayhawks were sluggish in falling behind pesky Davidson on Saturday night. But they dominated in the paint in the second half, began getting into transition and ran away from the Wildcats for an 89-71 victory at Sprint Center.Josh Jackson and Frank Mason III led the way with 18 points apiece, but Bragg added seven points and eight rebounds in 18 minutes in his return from a brief suspension.He didnt really play well in the first half, Mason said, but we told him in the locker room, `Stay aggressive, stay confident, and thats what he did. I was happy to have him back out here.Bragg had been suspended following his arrest on suspicion of battery, but the misdemeanor charge was dismissed this week after video evidence surfaced that showed him acting in self-defense. The woman who had accused the sophomore forward of shoving her has been charged instead.I thought Carlton played well, Kansas coach Bill Self said.Svi Mykhailiuk also had 13 points for the Jayhawks (10-1), who extended their nation-leading home winning streak to 49 games. Kansas considered the matchup with the Wildcats (5-4) a home game even though it was played just down the road from its campus in Lawrence.It was the Jayhawks eighth straight win in the building, including the Big 12 Tournament last season and the CBE Classic a few weeks ago. Its also the same building where they will not only contest the league tournament in March but hope to land in the NCAA Tournament with a spot in the Final Four on the line.Peyton Aldridge hit five 3s and had 22 points to lead the Wildcats, while Jack Gibbs -- the nations fourth-leading scorer coming into the game -- had 12 points, seven rebounds and six assists.We had a great opportunity in front of us and for about 25 minutes I thought we handled it very well, Davidson coach Bob McKillop said, and then I think the statistics bear out they just annihilated us in the paint, and they annihilated us in transition.Davidson spoiled the holidays for the Jayhawks nearly five years ago to the day when it rolled into the same building and upset a team that would reach the Final Four. And just like that night, the Wildcats relied on superior toughness and a bevy of 3-pointers to cause all kinds of problems Saturday night.Davidson hit seven 3s in the first half alone, taking a 43-42 lead into the locker room. The only other time the Jayhawks have trailed at the break this season came in a win over Duke.Kansas was 0 for 8 from beyond the arc in the first half.The Wildcats extended their lead to five early in the second half before Jackson finally hit from the perimeter. Mason added another 3-pointer, and the Jayhawks clawed their way back in the game.It was 58-all with just over 11 minutes left when Landen Lucas converted an alley-oop dunk, triggering a 10-2 run that allowed Kansas to seize control. Mykhailiuk hit a 3-pointer during the run, and Bragg Jr. hit a bunch of free throws to cap it.Kansas later pushed the decisive charge to 20-4 as it wrapped up its 10th straight win.Theyre a team that really moves a lot on offense, set a lot of screens. It was kind of hard to keep up with our man out there, Jackson said, but I think we made a couple -- What am I trying to stay? -- we made a couple of adjustments on defense that really helped us out.STATS AND STREAKSKansas had a 48-22 advantage in the paint, including a 23-9 edge on second-chance points. ... The Jayhawks scored 16 points off turnovers. Davidson managed two. ... The Wildcats wrapped up a stretch of seven of eight games away from home. ... Aldridge needs four more points for 1,000 for his career./BIC PICTUREDavidson finally gets a break in the schedule. The Wildcats lost to fifth-ranked North Carolina their last time out, the first time theyve played back-to-back games against Top 5 opponents since 2008.Kansas showed that it could overcome a lethargic outing to win a game.

He brought up right-hander Adam Warren from Triple-A Iowa for a spot start on Wednesday -- his first of the season.We thought it was the most optimal moment to attempt to do something like this, Maddon said.Warren worked five innings and gave up just one run on three hits while striking out six. He retired the last 11 batters he faced.Whether he gets another shot after the All Star break hasnt been determined but he believes hes made a case to stay.The regular rotation resumes on Thursday with Jason Hammel, Jake Arrieta, Jon Lester and John Lackey working consecutive games into the All-Star break.All four suffered losses in their previous starts.The Cubs collectively are slumping since late June with a 5-12 record while losing four of five series in the span.I really cant explain it right now but were still going to try to go out there and get the job done, said shortstop Addison Russell. Obviously the past few weeks it hasnt been working but we still have high hope and high faith.Most of the Cubs will get four days away from baseball next week before resuming the season on July 15 at home against Texas.

The Cubs are 0-5 in his last five starts.Chicago and Atlanta split the two other games in an early season series as Pedro Strop picked up the win in relief in a 6-1 decision on April 29. Reliever Hector Rondon was tagged with the loss in a 4-3 decision on May 1.While the Cubs are struggling of late, the Braves are even worse.Atlanta started the season with nine straight losses and was 6-18 by the time it left Chicago on May 1.Fortunes havent improved since. Atlanta (28-57) has dropped 10 of its last 13 and Philadelphia completed a four-game sweep of the Braves with Wednesdays 4-3 victory.On Thursday, right-hander Lucas Harrell (1-0, 1.50) makes his second appearance and start since the Braves selected his contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on July 2.Harrell, 31, worked six innings and allowed one run on three hits in his lone appearance -- a 9-1 Braves victory over Miami on July 2.It was his first big league appearance since April 15, 2014, while with the Astros.After Thursday, the Braves move on to play the Chicago White Sox in a weekend inter-league series.
