In their first meeting since 2012, the Kansas Jayhawks defeated the Missouri Tigers, 102-65, led by 21 points from senior Ochai Agbaji in the HyVee Hoops Border Showdown inside Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday.

Kansas improves to 8-1 on the season, while Missouri falls to 4-5. The Jayhawks also improve their Border Showdown series advantage to 175-94 all-time, including winning six of the last seven meetings between the two teams.

Kansas’ 37-point win was the largest deficit in the series since defeating Missouri 98-54 on February 15, 1966. It was also the third largest margin of victory in the series all-time.

All five Kansas starters scored in double-figures on Saturday, including Agbaji (21) Dajuan Harris (13), Christian Braun (13) David McCormack (11) and Remy Martin (10) marking the first game this season with all five starters with 10+ points.

Harris, of Columbia, Missouri, tied his career-high of 13 points on 5-of-6 (83.3 percent) shooting, including 3-of-4 (75 percent) from 3-point range and two assists in 25 minutes. Harris’ five field goals and three 3-pointers both tied career highs previously set against Eastern Washington.

The Jayhawks found the advantage early, by way of Braun. Braun accounted for eight of Kansas’ first 11 points on a 3-pointer, and-one and a fastbreak layup. The Jayhawks led 11-3 by the first media timeout.

Following Braun’s lead, Harris connected on a pair of 3-pointers to bring the lead to 19-9 with 14:03 remaining in the first half. Kansas would go on to connect on six 3-pointers in the first half, tied for the most all season.
