Brandon Rush scored 18 points and Sasha Kaun added a season-high 16, leading No. 6 Kansas to an 87-57 victory over No. 9 Oklahoma State on Wednesday night. Darnell Jackson and Sherron Collins added 10 points each for Kansas (14-2, 1-0 Big 12), which won its eighth straight and snapped the Cowboys' four-game winning streak. Oklahoma State (15-2, 1-1) lost its 32nd straight road game against a top 10 team.

Curry had been fifth in the conference with an 18.9-point average. Oklahoma State coach Sean Sutton earned a technical foul in the first half for arguing that Arthur's block of Boggan's shot should have been a foul.
