SERIES INFO:

KANSAS’ WIN...

• Made Kansas 8-1 or better for the fourth consecutive season and 12th time in head coach Bill Self’s 19 seasons at KU.

• Extended Kansas’ win streak against Missouri at Allen Fieldhouse to 14 consecutive games.

• Made Self 737-224 all-time, including 530-119 while at Kansas.

• Made Kansas 2,331-872 all-time.

TEAM NOTES:

• Kansas’ 37-point win was the largest margin of victory by KU in the series since defeating Missouri 96-49 (+47) on Dec. 28, 1977. Saturday’s win was the third-largest margin of victory in the series, trailing only the game already listed in 1977 and a 98-54 (+44) win on Feb. 15, 1966.

• Kansas scored 100 points for the first time since Nov. 15, 2019, vs. Monmouth (112 points). This was the first time since Feb. 7, 2011, that KU scored over 100 points in the series against Missouri (W, 103-86 at Allen Fieldhouse).

• Kansas recorded its second consecutive wire-to-wire victory. The last time the Jayhawks had back-to-back games that they never trailed or were tied was Feb. 1, 2020, vs. Texas Tech and Jan. 27 at Oklahoma State.

• Kansas shot 55.9 percent (33-of-59) from the field, its seventh game this season shooting at least 50.0 percent. • Kansas knocked down a season-high 14 three-point field goals and shot a season-high 51.9 percent from beyond the arc.

• Kansas had all five starters finish in double figures for the first time this season.

• Kansas dished out 20 assists on Saturday, the third time this season the Jayhawks have had at least 20 assists.

• Kansas held a 49-27 advantage at the half. The 22-point margin was a season-most at the break. KU has led at the half in all nine games this season.

• Kansas has played at least 11 different players in every game this season. The Jayhawks played 13 against Missouri.

INDIVIDUAL NOTES:

• Senior Ochai Agbaji finished with a game-high 21 points on 7-of-12 (58.3 percent) shooting, including 5-of-7 (71.4 percent) and four rebounds in 30 minutes. His five three-point field goals matched his career-high (sixth time). He has now scored 20+ points in three straight games and seven of nine games this season and 14 times in his career.

• Agbaji started his 86th consecutive game on Saturday, he is ninth on the all-time list for consecutive starts at KU.

• Redshirt-sophomore Dajuan Harris Jr. had a career-high-tying 13 points on 5-of-6 (83.3 percent) shooting, including 3-of-4 (75.0 percent) from three-point range, two rebounds, and two assists in 25 minutes. His five field goals and three three-pointers both tied his career highs (March 20, 2021, vs. Eastern Washington.).

• Junior Christian Braun finished with 13 points on 5-of-9 (55.6 percent) shooting four rebounds, three assists, a game-high three blocks, and one steal in 28 minutes.

• Senior David McCormack contributed 11 points, a game-high seven rebounds, three assists, one block, and one steal in 21 minutes of action.
