No. 5 Houston edged No. 12 Kansas in double overtime, 92–86, at Allen Fieldhouse in a game that was close throughout its 50 minutes of play.

The Cougars’ Mylik Wilson hit a triple with two seconds left in the first overtime to tie the score at 79-79 and force a second overtime period. Milos Uzan proposed that Zeke Mayo’s inbounds pass under the basket and Wilson caught the deflection. The senior then stepped behind the arc for his game-play shot.

Kansas came in after Houston’s Emanuel Sharp hit a 3 to make the score 79-76 with eight seconds left. Before that, the Jayhawks appeared to have put the game away when Rylan Griffen hit a 3 with 55 seconds left to give Kansas a four-point lead. Griffen added two free throws with 28 seconds left for a 79–73 margin.

Dajuan Harris Jr. then missed two free throws that could have opened up an eight-point lead for the Jayhawks. Misses set up Sharp’s three-pointer and Uzan’s fateful steal.
