Oklahoma will be without one of it’s best players and one it’s top bench contributors on Saturday against No. 6 Kansas.
Brady Manek and Jalen Hill will both miss the game due to COVID-19 protocols, the team announced on Twitter.

It is unclear at this point if one of them tested positive or if it is a case of contact tracing, but either way the two key players will be out for one of the Sooners’ toughest games of the entire season. Manek is the team’s second-highest scorer and Hill is one the team’s best rebounders coming off of the bench.
How this affects the rotations will surely be something to watch as Oklahoma tries to spring the road upset. The game is set to tip at 3:45 p.m. CT in Lawrence.
