Notes and a head-to-head comparison to get you primed for the game:
An Oklahoma State Win Would...
► Mark the Cowboys' fourth over Kansas since Travis Ford took over as head coach in 2008-09. No team has beaten the Jayhawks more than three times during that span.
► Be the Cowboys' second in their last three trips to Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence. OSU was an 85-80 winner in 2013.
► Mark the Cowboys' 10th over a team ranked in the top 10 of the Associated Press poll since Travis Ford took over as head coach in 2008-09.
► Give the Cowboys their second consecutive high-quality win. The Pokes beat No. 10 Texas last time out.
► Mark the 17th time that OSU has beaten an opponent ranked in the top 25 of the Associated Press poll since Travis Ford took over as head coach in 2008-09.
► Mark OSU's third road win over a ranked opponent under Travis Ford. The previous two were a 73-69 victory at No. 10 Kansas State in 2010 and an 85-80 triumph at No. 2 Kansas in 2013.
► Improve the Cowboys to 3-1 in Big 12 play with early wins over Kansas, Texas and Kansas State in a year when OSU was picked to finish eighth in the league in the preseason poll.
