OU never led in the game, falling behind by as many as 11 points in the first half, before trailing halftime 28-22, their lowest scoring half of the season.
K-State built the lead to 16 in the second half, and withstood a late Sooner rally to win by eight.
Oklahoma shot just 35 percent overall and were 4-for-21 from three-point range.
