Kansas City, Mo. ? Going up: Oklahoma State and Kansas University.

Going down, and fast: Missouri.

Holding in voter limbo: Texas and Oklahoma.

After six of the nation’s top 11 teams lost on Saturday, at least three of the Big 12’s five ranked programs appear likely to make some sort of move when the latest rankings by the Associated Press are issued today.

Saturday’s top 10 casualties were No. 1 Duke, No. 6 Connecticut, No. 8 Illinois, No. 9 Alabama and No. 10 Notre Dame.

No. 24 Oklahoma State, snubbed in the rankings until last week, made its case for a significant move up with a 76-56 rout of No. 11 Missouri. It was the Cowboys’ 12th straight victory and second win of the week over a ranked team, following a 48-46 win last Monday over No. 5 Oklahoma.

“Two months ago we weren’t underrated, but we’ve gotten a lot better,” said OSU coach Eddie Sutton, whose Cowboys (14-1, 3-0 Big 12) own the nation’s longest winning streak. “We’re a lot better team than we were two months ago.”

If Oklahoma State doesn’t make a big move in the polls, forward Victor Williams said, that won’t diminish the Cowboys’ resolve.

“We’re really not worried about records, where we’re ranked and all that,” said Williams, who led Oklahoma State with 24 points on Saturday. “We go into each game knowing we’re in the toughest conference in the country. If we don’t play well, we can lose.”

The Cowboys started the 2001-2002 season 13-0 and were ranked as high as No. 5. But after losing guard Maurice Baker to a strained groin muscle, they went 10-9 the rest of the way and lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

“Last year, we somewhat fell apart,” guard Cheyne Gadson said. “This year, the seniors know … we need to stay together, stay positive and work hard in practice every day.”

Missouri (10-3, 1-1) has lost two in a row and might be without point guard Ricky Clemons for a while.

He was arrested Friday on assault charges and suspended for the Oklahoma State game, and coach Quin Snyder hasn’t said when Clemons will play again.

Complicating the Tigers’ backcourt problems, one-time starter Josh Kroenke didn’t play Saturday because of tendinitis in his right knee and might miss Tuesday’s game against Iowa State.

“We don’t know what kind of timetable we’re on,” Kroenke said. “The doctors just keep evaluating it day by day.”

No. 12 Kansas, on the other hand, hasn’t missed a beat in the four games since forward Wayne Simien — a double-digit scorer and the team’s leading rebounder — went out with a separated shoulder.

The Jayhawks (13-3, 3-0) extended their winning streak to 10 games and their unbeaten conference streak to 23 games with an 81-64 victory over Kansas State on Saturday night.

It was Kansas’ 25th straight win over the Wildcats (10-6, 1-2), who haven’t beaten the Jayhawks since Jan. 17, 1994.

No. 4 Texas also completed an undefeated week on Saturday as T.J. Ford scored a career-high 25 points in an 89-61 victory over Texas A&M (9-5, 1-2). However, the Longhorns (12-2, 3-0) must now wait to see how badly voters penalize Duke for its 15-point loss to No. 17 Maryland.

Oklahoma and Texas Tech both made up for disappointing conference losses on Saturday.

The Sooners (11-3, 2-1) got 31 points from Hollis Price in a 70-60 road win over Iowa State (10-4, 0-3).

“Hopefully, we can keep it going,” Price said. “We do a good job of bouncing back after a loss.”

Texas Tech, bounced from its No. 24 ranking a week with a 24-point loss to Kansas State the week before, rebounded for an 80-64 win over Baylor (9-5, 0-3). The Red Raiders (11-2, 1-1) gave coach Bob Knight his 798th career win.

“We really came together this week, and it showed on the court,” said forward Kasib Powell, who led Texas Tech with a season-high 26 points. “Everything we did was done as a team.”

Nebraska beat Colorado 80-77 in overtime for its first conference victory — and its first win since losing guard Jake Muhleisen for the season with a broken hip.

Both teams are 1-2 in conference play; the Cornhuskers improved to 9-7 overall and Colorado dropped to 11-5.
