LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Kendall Smith knocked down a 3-pointer from the wing in the first half, silencing a buzzing sellout crowd of Kansas fans. The Oklahoma State guard instinctively put his finger to his lips in the universal sign for "shush."
Smith silenced them again when it mattered most.
The senior backup scored 24 points, including the clinching free throws in the final seconds, and the Cowboys held on to beat the Jayhawks 84-79 on Saturday for a rare win in Allen Fieldhouse.
"Just one of those, you know, you play college basketball and when you're done you say, `I was in Allen Fieldhouse one time and I hit a shot and silenced the crowd," Smith said afterward.
