The 4th ranked Jayhawks won their Big 12 opener Saturday in dramatic fashion, erasing a 15-point halftime deficit to edge Oklahoma State.

 

Sophomore forward K.J. Adams Jr. was able to capitalize on the game-winning layup with just three seconds remaining to give Kansas their 12th win of the season.

 

Kansas was trailing for a majority of the game, taking the lead for the first time in the 2nd half with just six minutes to go. Jalen Wilson led the Jayhawks with 20 points, and Adams followed with 14.

 

Jayhawks Coach Bill Self says that Adams may be among the most improved players on the roster, and that his contributions have increased since the end of last season.

 

The Jayhawks remain unbeaten at home this season and will return to the court tomorrow night for a showdown with the conference rival Texas Tech Red Raiders. Game coverage begins at 6:30 p.m. on Greatest Hits 104.1 FM.
