Lawrence, Kan. ---- A Jeff Newberry second-half run wasn't enough in Oklahoma State's 94-67 loss to Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse on Monday.

Newberry went on to finish with 19 points, 15 of which came in the second half.

His layup midway through the second half led to an eventual 7-0 run by the senior that cut the Kansas lead to 57-49 with 14:04 remaining.

Jeffrey Carroll stepped to the line with 11:14 left and made both free throws to cut the deficit to 62-56 but the Jayhawks made key shots down the stretch to hold on for the eventual win.

The first half couldn't have started much better for the Cowboys. A Mitchell Solomon three got Oklahoma State on the board first and led to an eventual 10-3 run that was capped off with a Solomon dunk.

The Cowboys eventually led 10-5 at the first media timeout with 15:42 remaining until halftime.

Later in the half, a Tavarius Shine three off a Tyree Griffin assist gave the Cowboys their biggest lead of the night at 23-14 with 9:47 left in the half.

Kansas would end the half on a run and led 47-34 at halftime.

Bench points were key from the start for Oklahoma State as it outscored Kansas 17-12 in that category in the first half.

Laden Lucas led the way for Kansas with 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Alongside Newberry, Oklahoma State also had impact performances from Carroll and Shine. Carroll finished with 13 points while Shine finished with 11 points.
