HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
Le'Bryan Nash charged on Devonte' Graham with 10:52 to play in the first half. Following a Brannen Greene three-pointer, Nash drove to the lane and was called for a charge on Devonte' Graham. This sparked a 10-3 run for Kansas into the third media timeout. After a 6-0 Cowboy run, Frank Mason III hit a three to silence the crowd with 3:27 left to play in the first half. Kansas reclaimed a nine-point lead but more importantly slowed down the Cowboy's momentum.
2ND HALF
Wayne Selden Jr. tried to extend the second-half lead to 14 points on a breakaway, but was caught from behind and fouled. Coach Bill Self said Selden converting the layup was a turning point in the game. Nash had a wide-open dunk that sparked the crowd and brought the deficit to eight. The proceeding Kansas in-bounds pass was stolen by Anthony Hickey, which was converted into a layup and Oklahoma State brought the game within six. That sequence was the start of the 14-0 OSU run.
GAME TO REMEMBER
GAME TO FORGET
According to coach Bill Self, no one on the Kansas team had a good game. Perry Ellis put up the best numbers with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Ellis didn't shoot the ball well, shooting 4-for-12 from the field, but he stayed aggressive on the glass and recorded his second double-double in the past three games.
This was a toss up between Kelly Oubre Jr. and Devonte' Graham. Oobre wasn't effective at all and ended up playing only 14 minutes. He scored one point and had three rebounds but also missed two wide open three-pointers and all three field-goal attempts.
UNSUNG HERO
The sophomore was an underlying reason Kansas was ahead in the game. Wayne Selden Jr.started the game making both three-point attempts and finished with 15 points, shooting 4-for-6 from three. When Kansas was having trouble finding its offense in the second half, Selden hit two contested three-pointers to keep Kansas in the game late.
