OU-KANSAS STATE HISTORY

FROZEN IN FEBRUARY

Wins against Kansas State (Feb. 6) and Oklahoma State (Feb. 10) gave Oklahoma consecutive victories in February for the first time since 2009-10 season when the Sooners won against Oklahoma State, 77-66, on Feb. 6 and in overtime against Baylor, 62-60, on Feb. 10 of that year.

OU's losses to Iowa State (Feb. 14) and Kansas (Feb. 17) were the team's first back-to-back defeats of the season.
