No. 1 Kansas and No. 2 Oklahoma did not disappoint us in their first game as the respective 1 and 2 teams in the country. The Jayhawks and Sooners gave us a triple overtime we will not soon forget as it was one of the few times that a 1-2 matchup went into multiple overtimes.

Last 1-2 matchup to go to multiple OTs was March 23, 1974.
No. 1 NC State def. 2 UCLA in the Final Four.

Perry Ellis finished with a double-double of 27 points and 13 rebounds while OU's Buddy Hield finished with 46 points on 23 shot attempts. It was an incredible show by both teams and hopefully when they play again in February we can get some more overtimes!
