Game Primer: How To Watch, Things To Know for Kansas at Oklahoma State

Texas Tech gave the Jayhawks an early Valentine's Day present by beating Texas last night. Now they will try to take advantage against a dangerous Oklahoma State squad.

The Kansas Jayhawks are on a bit of a roll, bouncing back from the uneven stretch that saw them lose four of five conference games to get two big wins over the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners to climb back into the Big 12 race. And last night, wins by Texas Tech and Baylor have given the Jayhawks a chance to pull into a tie for first place in the conference standings with just five games left in the regular season.

Standing in their way is the red-hot Oklahoma State Cowboys team that is on a five-game winning streak and has won six of their last seven conference games. They are looking to avenge a close loss to the Jayhawks early in the season, when some heroics from Bryce Thompson were nearly enough to pull off the upset.

Kansas comes into the game ranked #5 in the AP Poll and #7 in the Coaches Poll, while Oklahoma State is receiving votes in both polls.

Kansas leads the all-time series 122-60, including a 37-36 record in Gallagher-Iba Arena. The Jayhawks have won four straight in the series and nine of the last ten. They are 33-13 against the Cowboys in the Big 12 era. The last win for the Cowboys came in the 2021 game in Stillwater.
