Led by a barrage of three-point shots, the Oklahoma State Cowboys used a 53% 3-point shooting mark to down the 1 loss Kansas Jayhawks in Stillwater. The Jayhawks came into the game looking for a win to stay undefeated this season in Big 12 play, but no one must have told junior James Anderson and the Cowboys. OSU held the Jayhawks to just 29 first half points, while they scored 45 of their own in the first half of the game. The three-point barrage continued in the second half, as Anderson hit 4 of his 6 three attempts and Keiton Page poured in a perfect 4 for 4 from beyond the arc. The Cowboys defeat of Kansas gives them their first win over a #1 team since they defeated Oklahoma in their 1989 Red River Rivalry game. This feat also marks the first time that the number 1 and 2 teams int eh nation have lost in the same day since 2006, when 17-0 Duke and 17-0 Florida lost. Page finished with 15 points, and Anderson showed up in every statistical category recording 27 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. With his 27 points, Anderson has now scored in double figures in every game this season and will get a multitude of opportunities the rest of the way, as this win solidifies Oklahoma State’s spot in the NCAA tournament come March 18th.
