Freshman guard Xavier Henry attempts a three point shot but Oklahoma State guard James Anderson landed a pinkie on the ball for a block. Henry regained possession after the block and stepped up to hit a two-point bucket.

Stillwater, Okla. — Xavier Henry had his first real defensive test Saturday against Oklahoma State. He's played against a number of very strong wing players in the Big 12, but none with the raw scoring ability of Oklahoma State's James Anderson.
Henry failed that test, as Anderson led all scorers with 27 points. He also had eight rebounds to lead the Cowboys to an 85-77 upset over the No.1 lavyhaws.
Henry, a freshman, played well offensively, with 17 points, but was exposed defensively as Anderson, the front-runner for Big 12 Player of the Year.
"I was going to play, regard-
less." Anderson said. "I could
have been with a broken leg, I
would dragged it all the way
down the court."
"He's a terrific ball handler and he makes guarded shots," Coach Bill self said of Anderson. "He made shots that we don't let our guys shoot, because he's that talented." Self said. "I don't know if he reminds me of anybody, but the only one that comes to mind right now would be a Paul Pierce type."
Morningstar checked out of the game with four minutes to go, shifting Henry to guard Anderson once again. Anderson, who missed his last practice with tightness in his back, scored seven of the Cowboys' next nine points to put the game on ice.
"I could have been with a broken leg, I would've dragged it all the way down the court."
was able to consistently find the bottom of the bucket.
Anderson finished the first half with 15 points but was hardly finished abusing the Jayhawks with a dazzling offensive repertoire. He scored just five points in the first 16 minutes of the second half with Brady Morningstar guarding him, but when the Jayhawks got within six points with just over a minute to go, Anderson took over.
A broken leg might not have even stopped Anderson, who
JAMES ANDERSON Oklahoma State junior guard
Oklahoma State shot 60.4 percent from the field, a full eight percentage points better than any team has shot against the Jayhawks this season. Junior forward Matt Pilgrim (8-for-8 from the field). Sophomore guard Keith Page (4-for-4 from three) and senior guard Obi Muonelo
"He shot the ball real well from behind the arc," Henry said. "He also had help to where we had to help off him and we just had to find a way to scramble back, because everybody on their team was shooting well."
made 4-of-6 three-pointers
(17 points) all scored more than 15 points to complement Anderson. It was both a defensive lase by Kansas and an incredible shooting afternoon by the Cowboys.
"Whenever you get your butt kicked like
we did today, you always look at the other team and say how good they are," Self said. "I will say this, and I mean this totally honestly. I don't see a lot of teams beating them if Page and Muonelo and Anderson are that good. I really don't."
