Bobby Pettiford beats buzzer, KU basketball survives Wisconsin in overtime

Kansas men’s basketball, which has won 17 consecutive games dating back to the 2021-22 NCAA title campaign, will play for another championship — at the Battle 4 Atlantis — on Friday.

Bobby Pettiford put in an improbable offensive rebound for a basket to beat the overtime buzzer as the Jayhawks (6-0) followed their first-round victory over North Carolina State with a 69-68 overtime win over Wisconsin on Thursday in the Imperial Ballroom of the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas.

Zach Clemence missed a three on KU’s final possession of OT with KU down one and four seconds to play. The ball missed but was tipped from Jalen Wilson to Pettiford, who banked in a short reverse layup for the improbable win.
