They and the Kansas State Wildcats will face off in a Big 12 battle at 2:00 p.m. ET at Gallagher-Iba Arena. Both of these teams will be looking for a pick-me-up after considerable defeats in their previous games.

It's hard to win when you don't work as a unit and post 14 fewer assists than your opponent, a fact Okla. State found out the hard way on Tuesday. They took a serious blow against the Jayhawks, falling 83-54. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Okla. State in their matchups with the Jayhawks: they've now lost seven in a row.

Despite their defeat, Kansas State saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Tylor Perry, who scored 23 points along with five rebounds, was perhaps the best of all. Perry didn't help Kansas State's cause all that much against the Cougars on Saturday but the same can't be said for this game. Less helpful for Kansas State was Cam Carter's abysmal 0-5 three-point shooting.

The Cowboys' loss was their fifth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 9-12. Those losses could be blamed on the team's lackluster offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 60.6 points per game.
