At Lawrence, Kan., Jacque Vaughn and Billy Thomas led the Jayhawks (11-3 Big Eight, 22-4) to their 42nd Big Eight Conference championship with a second-half charge that carried KU past the Cowboys (10-4, 20-9). Bryant Reeves went scoreless for the first time in his OSU career.

Hounded by 7-foot-2 Greg Ostertag, Reeves finished with no points, four fouls and six turnovers.
