Kansas coach PHck Harp hailed the effort of his Jayhawks in a 296 victory at Stillwater over Oklahoma State. He credited the players, especially Wilt Chamberlain with 30 points and Ron Loneski 14, for their standout games despite a rough start. Harp noted Al Donaghue, Hoby Hickman and Monte Johnson outperformed expectations as KU earned a rare Stillwater win, his 2-1 edge over Hank Iba.
