Perry Ellis had 27 points and grabbed 13 rebounds for the Kansas Jayhawks (13-1, 2-0 Big 12), who had chances to win in regulation and the first two overtimes, instead it took three to walk away with a 109-106 win over the second ranked Oklahoma Sooners Monday night. Wayne Selden Jr. added 21 points and Devonte Graham had 20, including the go-ahead free throw in the final extra session.
Buddy Hield had a career-high 46 points for Oklahoma (12-1, 1-1), but he made two crucial turnovers in the final extra session, then missed a potential tying 3 at the buzzer.
ordan Woodard hit six 3-pointers and had 27 points for the Sooners, who were trying to extend their best start in 28 years. Ryan Spangler finished with 14 points and 18 rebounds.
It was a fitting conclusion for the first 1 vs. 2 matchup in two years, and the first pitting teams from the same conference since Ohio State and Michigan State of the Big Ten met on Feb. 25, 2007.
