LAWRENCE, Kan. -- After playing, and winning, two road games last week, the No. 2-ranked Kansas Jayhawks were eager to begin a two-game home stand against longtime conference foe Oklahoma on Tuesday night.
“I think playing in Allen Fieldhouse is a blessing. We’ll never take that for granted,” sophomore forward KJ Adams said before the Jayhawks claimed one of the hardest, most exciting home victories in recent memory, a one-for-the-ages 79-75 win over the Sooners.
It was KU’s 15th consecutive victory in Allen Fieldhouse overall and 22nd straight — yes, 22nd in a row — over the Sooners in KU’s 65-year-old building.
