Oklahoma (11-5, 2-2) dropped a tough one to No. 6 Kansas (13-3, 3-1) at home, their first home loss of the season, 66-52.
The Sooners were a thorn in the Jayhawks all night long, keeping Kansas relatively quiet from the floor all night. With the slow erosion caused by Udoka Azubuike in the interior, Oklahoma wilted away as time dwindled down.
HARMON IS FOR REAL
Freshman guard, De’Vion Harmon is the real deal. His 13 points kept the Sooners in the game as he fed off the crowd of 10,486. When Oklahoma needed points, the ball somehow found Harmon wide open on multiple occasions ending with the ball finding the bottom of the net nearly 50% of the time.
AZUBUIKE IS A GROWN MAN
Kansas center, Udoka Azubuike would make a great left tackle in the NFL. Never in my life have I seen a human that big and athletic. His legs are as thick as trees and that is not an exaggeration. Azubuike is going to make a lot of money in the NBA if he can develop a consistent jump shot.
THE SOONERS ARE CLOSE
It may be frustrating to watch as a fan but Oklahoma is close. Hanging around Kansas while shooting around 30% is something within itself. This game could have very easily have been a 25-point rout but instead, the Sooners fought until the very end. This team will be fun to watch the moment they overcome the hump.
Oklahoma hosts TCU on Saturday at 1p.m. CT. The game will be streamed on ESPN+ as part of Big 12 NOW.
