The Oklahoma State Cowboys will have to wait a few days for another shot at its first Big 12 victory this season after its fifth straight conference loss came on Saturday, 87-80 to the Kansas Jayhawks in Lawrence.
A notoriously difficult place for any opponent to pull out a win, Allen Fieldhouse has seen the Jayhawks win 52 consecutive home games.
It was the second consecutive Saturday road loss to the nation’s No. 2 team—games in which OSU emerged from the half with a lead but couldn’t hold off the home team.
Everything started smoothly for Coach Brad Underwood’s bunch at the outset as the Pokes jumped to a pair of early double digit leads and led for nearly the entire first half, even after Kansas had pulled within a couple after a 9-0 run a quarter of the way through the contest.
