Kansas tops Ky. in OT

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- The two winningest programs in college hoops history played one of the best games of the 2015-16 season on Saturday night.

"Loudest atmosphere I've ever been in," Kentucky senior Alex Poythress said.

Coming from that player at that program, it's quite a statement.

And yet, amazingly enough, this wasn't even the best played in Phog Allen Fieldhouse this month. But it sure was entertaining. No. 4 Kansas needed overtime to finish off No. 20 Kentucky at the Phog 90-84. Following an utterly captivating second half, KU outscored UK 14-8 in the bonus session.
