• Donovan Jackson scored 20 points at Kansas, hitting six threes for the third-straight game, which is a school record...it was his eighth 20-point game this season, seven of which have seen him score at least 24 points...among Big 12 players, only OU's Trae Young has more games with at least 24 points...he has connected on 53 three-pointers this season...the Milwaukee native is 39-of-42 from the free-throw line, topping the Big 12 and ranking eighth nationally at 92.9 percent.
• Lindell Wigginton continues to be one of the nation's top freshmen...he has posted six 20-point games after scoring 27 points in his first career game against Kansas...he is 11th in the Big 12, including second among freshmen, averaging 15.6 points...Wigginton is shooting 41.4 percent behind the arc...he is one of three freshmen nationally averaging 15 ppg and shooting 40 percent behind arc (25 makes)...the others are LSU's Tremont Waters and Jacksonville's JD Notae.
