Cameron McGriff scored more than 20 points for the second straight game in Allen Fieldhouse. He finished the game with 22 points and six rebounds. He was 7 of 14 from the floor, including two 3-point makes.

From that point, Kansas went on a 19-4 run to take control of the game. The Jayhawk lead grew to as many as 17, but OSU never gave up and cut the lead to 12 with two minutes remaining.
