And to think, at one point it looked like Oklahoma would get run out of Phog Allen Fieldhouse. Instead, we were treated to an all-time classic that went well into the night. Plus, while that madness was going on, Virginia dropped a road game.
Big 12
The game of the night MORE than lived up to expectations, going an extra 15 minutes. No. 1 Kansas (13-1, 2-0) prevailed, handing No. 2 Oklahoma (12-1, 1-1) its first loss of the season, 109-106. The Sooners' Buddy Hield, who has to be in at the front of the National Player of the Year race, especially in Denzel Valentine's temporary absence for Michigan State, scored 46 (the most an opposition player has ever scored at Kansas), while Jordan Woodard scored 26 for Oklahoma.
