The Kansas Jayhawks defeated Oklahoma 81-68 on Monday night in Allen Fieldhouse to secure their sixth straight Big 12 regular season title. Freshman guard Xavier Henry led the way for Kansas, scoring 23 points and grabbing five rebounds. With the victory, the Jayhawks improved to 27-1 overall and 13-0 in conference play.
Senior guard Sherron Collins chipped in with 17 points and six assists in his next-to-last game in Allen Fieldhouse. Junior center Cole Aldrich was held to just seven points, but he also had 12 rebounds for the game.
Kansas held Oklahoma to 41.3 percent shooting for the game, and held the Sooners to 29 points in the first half. Freshman Tommy Mason-Griffin led Oklahoma with 17 points and eight assists. Andrew Fitzgerald added 16 points and Cade Davis scored 13 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
