In what was easily the Sooners’ best win of the season, and undeniably its most important, the main headline from OU’s 81-68 victory on Tuesday night wasn’t about how OU totally dominated a Jayhawk team that showed little fight, but rather how Kansas’ 14-year reign as Big 12 champions ended in a whimper.
Kansas (22-8, 11-6) came into the game ranked 13th in the latest Associated Press Poll. Oklahoma improved to 19-11 overall, one more win than a year ago.
This game was over before it had barely begun, which is something that has to go down as an extremely rare occurrence in the Bill Self coaching era at Kansas.
