After erasing 16-point deficit, No. 6 Kansas falls at unranked Oklahoma St.

Kansas’ remarkable winning streak in Big 12 men’s basketball road games has finally come to an end.

Freshman sensation Cade Cunningham scored 18 points (with seven rebounds), while Bryce Williams and Avery Anderson had 17 and 14 points respectively as unranked Oklahoma State, which raced to an early 16-point lead and led by 16 with 9:15 to play, nudged the No. 6-rated Jayhawks, 75-70, Tuesday night at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

David McCormack scored 24 points and Ochai Agbaji added 14 for the Jayhawks (10-3, 4-2 Big 12), who had won their last 11 conference road games. The Jayhawks also won a Big 12 record 11 in a row on the road from Feb. 25, 2001 to Jan. 6, 2003.

KU’s last conference road loss had been an 81-68 setback at Oklahoma on March 5, 2019.

The Jayhawks used a 21-2 run to turn a 16-point deficit into a 70-67 lead at 1:20. However Isaac Likekely hit a three at 1:00 to tie the score for Oklahoma State (9-3, 33).

After Marcus Garrett had a shot blocked by Cade Cunningham, OSU scored off a bucket and free throw by Rondel Walker.

Garrett then missed a three with 22 seconds left and KU down three. Bryce Williams missed a free throw and KU’s Agbaji was fouled with 12.3 seconds left. Agbaji missed a pair of threes, the ball going out of bounds and staying with KU with 3.7 seconds left.

OSU intercepted a Marcus Garrett inbounds pass intended for Christian Braun past the three-point line and KU did not get a final shot in the last four seconds.
