LAWRENCE, Kan. ? Erica Hallman had 18 points and eight assists to lead Kansas to a 76-54 Big 12 Conference win over Colorado Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence.

Kansas (11-11, 4-7 Big 12) benefited from a 17-3 run that spanned the last two minutes of the first half and the first eight minutes of the second half to blow the game open. Crystal Kemp and Kaylee Brown each had 17 for the Jayhawks who shot 50 percent in the second half (17of-34), outscoring Colorado (8-14, 1-10 Big 12) 39-26 in the period.

The Buffaloes made just one of their first 13 shots in the second half and finished the period shooting just 28 percent (9-of-32).

Freshman forward Jackie McFarland had a game-high 18 points for the Buffaloes who have dropped seven straight for the first time since an eight-game skid during the 1984-85 season. Freshman guard Yari Escalera had a career-high 11 points off the bench while sophomore guard Jasmina Ilic pitched in 10.

After an Ilic 3-point field goal with 1:58 left in the first half, CU trailed only by three at 31-28. Kansas scored the last six points of the half, including a Jamie Boyd put-back off a Hallman miss at the buzzer for a 37-29 lead.
