Kansas shot 35.9 percent from the field in one of its worst offensive showings of the season.

Confounded by Oklahoma State’s full-court press and 2-3 zone, guards Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar shot a combined 5-of-20 from the field.

It wasn’t until KU coach Bill Self went small and utilized 6-6 Mario Little at power forward that Kansas pulled away for good.

With the game tied at 60 and the final minute approaching, Little sliced to the center of the zone and accepted an entry pass, then spun hard into his right shoulder and banked in a lefty half-hook., icing a 63-62 win over the Cowboys.
