KANSAS NOTES


• 20-POINT SCORERS: Kansas featured three 20-point scorers on Saturday — Frank Mason III (22 points), Devonte' Graham (21) and Josh Jackson (20). The last time KU featured three players in 20-plus points was a three-overtime victory over Oklahoma on Jan. 4, 2016 — Perry Ellis (27), Devonte' Graham (22) and Wayne Selden, Jr. (21). The last time Kansas had three 20-point scorers in a regulation game was against Toledo on Dec. 30, 2013 — Perry Ellis (21), Naadir Tharpe (20), Andrew Wiggins (20).

• DOUBLE-FIGURE BOARDS: With Landen Lucas' 12 rebounds and Josh Jackson's 11 rebounds, it marks the first time multiple Jayhawks have reached double-figure rebounds in a game this season. The last time KU had multiple double-figure rebounders was against Texas Tech on Jan. 9, 2016 — Perry Ellis (10 rebounds) and Frank Mason III (10).

• FREE THROW ATTEMPTS: The Jayhawks finished 30-of-45 from the free throw line on Saturday. KU's 45 free throw attempts are the most since attempting 47 in an overtime win over Kentucky on Jan. 30, 2016. It is the most attempts from the charity stripe in a conference game since attempting 46 against Oklahoma State in 2015.

• TAKING THE LEAD: A Devonte' Graham's fast-break layup at the 14:10 mark of the second half gave Kansas its first lead of the game, 50-49. There were a total of three lead changes and seven ties after Graham made a the go-ahead 3-pointer to give a 65-62 lead with 9:04 remaining. This is the first game of the season in which Kansas has not held a lead for the entire first half — Kansas trailed 40-36 at halftime.

• LARGEST DEFICIT: When Oklahoma State took 11-point leads of 19-8 and 21-10 in the first half, it marked the largest deficit of the season for KU.

• LEADING UNDER FIVE: The Jayhawks have maintained a lead at the five minute mark of every game this season.

• WIN, DESPITE SHOOTING PERCENTAGE: It is the second time this season that KU's opponent has recorded a better shooting percentage than the Jayhawks. Oklahoma State shot 45.6 percent from the field to the Jayhawks' 44.1 percent on Saturday. Kansas has won both games when its opponent has a better shooting percentage (TCU, Oklahoma State).

• OSU SHARP SHOOTER: Mitchell Solomon's 6-for-6 shooting performance from the field were the most field goals without a miss by a KU opponent since Iowa State's Stevie Johnson went 5-for-5 on Feb. 21, 1998.
