You never know what to expect out of this year's Jayhawks. They've been capable of some pretty impressive performances, but sometimes their shortcomings are on full display, looking insurmountable. This was both types of game, but with considerably more of the latter.
Oklahoma State came into the game a respectable 35th in KenPom, playing solid defense, which in itself is cause for concern with this KU team. Kansas opened the game decently enough, leading 18-14 just over six minutes in. Unfortunately, they allowed a 10-0 run at that point and never really seemed to get any sense of control over the flow of the game.
