Danny Manning scored 22 points, and Ron Kellogg added 17 as seventh-ranked Kansas defeated ninth-ranked Kentucky, 83-66, Saturday night at Lawrence, Kan.

Kenny Walker, Kentucky’s 6-8 senior forward, left the game early in the second half when he caught an elbow in his left eye. Walker did not re-enter the game but said the small scratch under the eye was not serious.

“I didn’t go back in because if they had thrown the ball at me, I would have seen two coming,” Walker said. “I had double vision.”
