Kansas managed to hang on to its slim Big Eight title hopes by downing Oklahoma State, 70-53, Saturday night at Stillwater.
— AND —
KU, which has been failing to show the early knockout punch all season, had it Saturday as it jumped to a quick 8-2 lead and was never headed. This was something KU had not been able to do in two previous encounters with the Cowboys.
"They controlled both of those games from the beginning," coach Ted Owens said after the game. "Tonight I thought we played well early in the game. We went out and took charge of the game. I don't remember the last time we did that."

After the victory the Jayhawks stand 8-4 in the Big Eight, good for a second place tie with Iowa State behind league leading Kanee State (9-3).
