BOXSCORE POSTGAME NOTES GALLERY
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Jalen Wilson scored a team-high 18 points, and No. 9 Kansas rolled past Oklahoma 78-55 on Saturday at Lloyd Noble Center.
Wilson, who entered the day leading the Big 12 with nearly 21 points per game, bounced back from a two-point outing against Texas on Monday.
Dajuan Harris Jr. scored 16 points and Kevin McCullar Jr. added 13 for the Jayhawks (20-5, 8-4 Big 12).
Jalen Hill scored 14 points and Otega Oweh added 11 for the Oklahoma (12-13, 2-10). Grant Sherfield, who leads the Sooners with nearly 17 points per game, was held to 10 on 4-for-14 shooting.
Oklahoma was in a solid position a month ago but has since lost seven of eight — including four straight since beating No. 2 Alabama 93-69 on Jan. 28.
Oklahoma led for much of the first half, then Kansas took over on a layup by McCullar with just under seven minutes remaining before halftime.
Wilson didn’t score until he made a jumper with about four minutes left in the first half, then knocked down two 3-pointers in the final minute to give Kansas a 35-22 lead. The Jayhawks controlled the action from there.
