Kansas' Marcus Garrett (0) and Isaiah Moss (4) slap hands during the first half of the team's NCAA college basketball game against Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2020.

**1 – Marcus Garrett -** Played 38 minutes as the team’s primary ball handler and top defender and committed just one foul and one turnover while tallying 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Arguably his best game as a Jayhawk.

**2 – Isaiah Moss -** A much more aggressive approach on offense led to a 20-point outburst as the senior sharp-shooter hit 6 of 11 3-pointers on a night when Kansas needed someone to pick up the scoring slack for Devon Dotson, who was out with an injury.

**3 – Udoka Azubuike -** Scored 16 points and grabbed 14 rebounds and might have been most impressive as a perimeter defender. Did whatever he could and whatever he had to to help will Kansas to a key road win.

**4 – Christian Braun -** Brought energy and aggressive play from the first minute he checked into the game. Didn’t do much in the way of recording offensive stats, but did grab six rebounds, a block and a steal in 25 minutes.

**5 – Ochai Agbaji -** Finished strong and started playing with a little joy again. Watch to see if that will be the catalyst for Agbaji to get on a hot streak in the weeks ahead.

**7 – Tristan Enaruna -** Played 11 minutes and scored a big put-back of his own miss. Minutes have been tough to come by for the KU freshman of late, but every one he gave the Jayhawks on Tuesday was important in a game where small ball ruled the day.

**8 – David McCormack -** The OU matchup was a nightmare for McCormack from the beginning, as he never found much rhythm on either end. Still managed to deliver 4 points and 3 rebounds in 15 minutes.

**9 – Silvio De Sousa -** Played just 2 minutes but grabbed 3 rebounds and did not record any negative statistics while he was out there.
