NORMAN – Juniors Jalon Moore and Javian McCollum combined for 32 points and No. 25/21 Oklahoma men's basketball fell to No. 6/7 Kansas 67-57 on Saturday afternoon at Lloyd Noble Center.

Moore recorded team highs in points (17) and rebounds (8). The Birmingham, Ala., product finished 5 for 10 from the field and knocked down two threes. McCollum tallied 15 points and drained three 3-pointers. Sophomore Milos Uzan added 11 points, five rebounds, a team-high four assists and two steals.

Oklahoma held an 11-point advantage with 2:05 left in the first after senior Le'Tre Darthard buried the Sooners' seventh 3-pointer.

Kansas countered and strung together a 6-0 run to close the half. OU entered the break up 34-29.

After Kansas' Hunter Dickinson opened the second frame with a layup, McCollum drained his third three, putting the Sooners up 37-31.

KU's K.J. Adams Jr. trimmed the deficit to three before McCollum sank two of six made free throws.

With OU up 39-34 with 16:18 remaining, Kansas scored five unanswered points over the next two minutes, tying the game for the first time since 15:52 in the first half.

Sophomore Otega Oweh gave the Sooners back the lead with a jumper before a single free throw by Dickinson and Furphy tied at 41-all with 11:04 left.

Moore gave the Sooners back the advantage after two made free throws, but Dickinson was quick to counter, evening the score once more with a layup.

Senior Sam Godwin provided a brief spark with a thunderous dunk, completing the three-point play at the line.

OU's lead didn't last long as Dajuan Harris Jr. and Kevin McCullar Jr. drained back-to-back triples, putting the Jayhawks up 49-46 with 9:07 left.

Despite comeback attempts by the Sooners, Kansas controlled the remainder of the contest.
