LAWRENCE, Kan. — Looking as if it was still stinging from Monday’s loss at No. 20-ranked Texas, No. 8 Kansas played from behind for much of the game before rallying to defeat unranked Oklahoma, 71-69, on Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks (20-4, 9-2 Big 12), who trailed by eight points with 2:41 remaining in the first half and three points at halftime — not to mention five points with nine minutes to play — grasped a one-point lead on a straight-on 3-point basket by Zach Clemence — yes, Zach Clemence — with 6:55 left and didn’t surrender it.
Jalen Wilson scored 22 points with nine rebounds and Christian Braun added 18 points and eight boards as KU extended its remarkable homecourt winning streak over OU (14-11, 4-8 Big 12) to 21 games.
