Another game. Another comeback.

Kansas downs Oklahoma 73-63 on senior night for Frank Mason, Landen Lucas, and Tyler Self.

Recap

It took a while for both teams to get going, with nobody scoring until OU’s Khadeem Lattin hit a jumper almost 2 minutes into the game. Oklahoma would take a 7-0 lead before a Bill Self timeout. The Sooners would extend their lead to 12-5 with 12:48 until half on a Dante Buford three-pointer before a furious Kansas rally tied the game at 16-all less than four minutes later. The Jayhawks would take their first lead at 21-20 on a Frank Mason three with 7:17 until halftime. The two teams would play to a first half tie at 28-all.

Kansas has generally been a second half team this year, but this time it was their opponent who came out of the box fast. Oklahoma built leads of 36-32, 43-36, and eventually 54-42 following a Kameron McGusty three-pointer with just 10:12 to play. Undoubtedly, Lon Kruger was thinking, “We have them right where they want us.” A quick 7-0 KU run brought the Jayhawks back to within striking distance, and KU retook the lead at 59-58 on a Devonte Graham three with 6:07 still remaining on the clock.

Oklahoma would only score five points over the final six minutes as KU closed out yet another senior night victory, the 35th such win in a row for KU.
