J'Covan Brown (9.8 PPG) finished with a season-best 23 points on 6-of-10 shooting against Kansas, while Jordan Hamilton (19.5 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 41.7% three-pointers), third in the Big 12 in scoring, added 17 points and nine rebounds.

Oklahoma State is coming off a 76-57 loss at Baylor on Saturday, its third setback in the past four games. Freshman Markel Brown (5.2 PPG) had 16 points for just his third double-digit scoring game of the season, but he didn't get much help as the Cowboys hit only 39.2% from the field and 4-of-19 (21.1%) on three-pointers, while allowing Baylor to shoot 60% from the field. Leading scorer Marshall Moses (15.7 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 57.4 FG%) played only 11 minutes due to foul trouble versus the Bears and finished with a season-low one point, missing both of his field goal attempts. Keiton Page, second on the team in scoring at 13.8 PPG, contributed just seven points on 2-of-7 shooting. OSU's only win in the past two weeks came versus Iowa State in overtime on Jan. 19, but it did beat Kansas State, 76-62, on Jan. 8.
