Houston moves on to Big 12 final with dominating win over Kansas

Freshmen Kingston Flemings and Chris Cenac Jr. as well as a stifling defensive performance helped No. 5 Houston run away with a 69-47 win over No. 14 Kansas in the Big 12 tournament semifinal nightcap Friday in Kansas City.

The No. 2 seed Cougars (28-5) will face top-seeded Arizona (31-2) in Saturday's Big 12 title game. Houston has made the Big 12 title game in each of its first three years in the league and is looking for its second straight conference title.

Flemings tallied a game-high 21 points on 6-of-14 shooting.
