Fort Worth, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Frank Mason III scored 16 points and No. 9 Kansas held off TCU for a 64-61 win on Wednesday. Landen Lucas finished with eight points, seven rebounds and three blocks off the bench and Perry Ellis also netted eight for the Jayhawks (17-3, 6-1 Big 12), who have won three straight and eight of their last nine games. It was a very frustrating game, and were very fortunate that we won because I think that they outplayed us, Kansas head coach Bill Self said. Kyan Anderson had 17 points to pace the Horned Frogs (14-6, 1-6), who were coming off an 86-85 overtime loss to West Virginia on Saturday. Kenrich Williams scored 13 points with nine boards and Trey Zeigler supplied 12 points and 11 rebounds. Were just trying to find a way to get the wins at the end and make certain plays to secure victories, said Anderson. This is still a team thats learning how to win in situations like that, but I believe well get there. Anderson nailed a 3-pointer and a jumper as TCU scored seven straight points out of the break to take a 37-36 lead. The Jayhawks went back in front as Lucas and Mason each scored four points during a 12-0 run, making it a 52-43 game with under nine minutes to play. Williams layup got the Horned Frogs within 59-54 with 1 1/2 minutes to play. TCU had its opportunities to tie it, but Chris Washburn missed a pair of free throws and Charles Hill Jr. was off the mark from 3-point range. Ziegler went in for a layup and knocked down the ensuing free throw to make it a 59-57 game with 33 seconds left, but Brannen Greene knocked down two foul shots and blocked Zeigler at the other end before making another from the line for a five-point game. Washburns dunk made it a 64-61 game with seven seconds to play. He then pulled down Masons missed free throw, but his long 3-point attempt clanked off the rim at the buzzer. Kansas went ahead early, as Masons jumper ignited an 18-2 burst. Wayne Selden Jr. capped it with a triple for a 23-10 advantage at the midway point of the first half. The Horned Frogs, however, responded with an 8-0 run to whittle the deficit to five points and trailed 36-30 at halftime. Game Notes Kansas improved to 8-1 against TCU ...

Throughout their history, the Bengals (9-4-1) have been at their worst at nighttime.Cincinnati is 18-41 all-time in prime time, including 10-20 on Monday night. The Bengals have been beaten badly by New England and Cleveland in their two night games this season, reinforcing their reputation as a team that withers under the brightest lights.Its a label theyd love to eliminate.Its annoying and its our job to make it unannoying, safety George Iloka said on Thursday. If we lose this game, the talk will come back again.And if we want to silence the critics, so to say, weve got to put up or shut up. Thats how it goes. It might be annoying, but thats on us.For now, thats how theyre known.A loss at home to San Diego in the first round of the playoffs last season cemented their reputation as a team that cant handle the toughest pressure. Cincinnati has lost in the opening round each of the last three postseasons and hasnt won a playoff game since the 1990 season.And then there are those high-profile games at night.The Bengals went to New England determined to shake their reputation in a Sunday night game, but got pushed around throughout a 43-17 loss. Their next chance in prime time came in a Thursday night game at home against Cleveland, a 24-3 loss that only made matters worse.Defensive end Wallace Gilberry said he has no idea why playing in prime time bothers the teeam.ddddddddddddI guess were afraid of the dark. I have no idea, he said. But I can tell you this: Were going to come out Monday and were going to put our best foot forward.That would be a first. And in order for it to happen, Andy Dalton is going to have to play well.The fourth-year quarterback is 0-3 in the playoffs and 2-6 in prime time games. During the Thursday night loss to Cleveland, he completed only 10 passes, threw three interceptions and finished with a career-low passer rating of 2.0.A lot of it is on the quarterback.Its well documented whatever the record is, 2-6. Ive heard all kinds of stuff. Trust me, I get enough emails, letters, cards, advice, all kinds of stuff, offensive co-ordinator Hue Jackson said. I do understand whats at stake, and I think he does, too.In the big games, Dalton has made the biggest mistakes, losing the ball on fumbles and interceptions. That has to change.We cant make mistakes, we cant turn the ball over, weve got to be sound in our execution, Dalton said. And if we do that, well put ourselves in a lot better position than we did in the other ones.Notes: Receiver A.J. Green did his conference call with media in Denver on Thursday, then was excused from practice because he was sick. ... Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (Achilles tendon) and defensive end Carlos Dunlap (calf) were held out of practice as well. ...
