Notes
– Freshman Darrell Arthur made 10 shots and attempted 16 from the field, scoring 22 points and playing 30 minutes, all career highs.
– Sophomore Julian Wright set a career high for rebounds (12), blocked shots (5).
– Wright’s four first-half blocks are the most by a Jayhawk since David Padgett swatted four Binghamton first-half shots on Dec. 29, 2003.
– Junior Darnell Jackson pulled 10 boards, tying a career high. Combined with his 10 points, this marked Jackson’s second career double-double.
– Wright (12) and Jackson (10) both recorded double-figure rebounds. The last time a Kansas duo pulled double figure rebounds in the same game was Dec. 9, 2005 against Pepperdine when Sasha Kaun grabbed 12 along with C.J. Giles’ 10.
– Kansas scored eight fast break points, while holding Oral Roberts to two.
– Oral Roberts’ Marchello Vealy’s five first-half three-pointers are the most by a Kansas opponent since Gerry McNamara of Syracuse drained six in the first half of the national championship game on April 7, 2003. Vealy finished with seven three-pointers, the most by a KU opponent since Thomas Gardner of Missouri hit seven three-pointers on Jan. 16, 2006.
– Oral Roberts’ Caleb Green recorded six assists in the first half. This marked the most by a Kansas opponent since Will Blalock of Iowa State dropped nine dimes in the second half on Jan. 31, 2004.
– Kansas’ two three-point field goals were the fewest by a Kansas team since KU made only two against Oklahoma on February 5, 2006.
