FINAL: Naadir Tharpe's floater saves KU in 68-67 double-OT win over Oklahoma State
Naadir Tharpe hit a floater with 18 seconds left in double-overtime to give Kansas a one-point lead, and Oklahoma State guard Markel Brown missed a 19-footer with 10 seconds left before Travis Releford tipped the ball forward to run out the time in KU's 68-67 double-overtime victory over OSU on Wednesday night at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla.
Tharpe's jumper was KU's only field goal made in the two overtimes.
Travis Releford led KU with 18 points on 7-for-10 shooting, while Jeff Withey added 17 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks.
KU (22-4, 10-3 Big 12) moves into a tie for first place in the Big 12 with Kansas State.

Sorry, but regulation should have ended 61-57
KU cannot be blamed for not getting two goaltending calls and taking points off the board.

Yes, and I would like to see that Indiana Jones scene where the dude reaches in and pulls the heart out.

Once we stopped being aggressive at about the 4:00 minute mark of regulation, our offense has died.

Proud of our effort regardless of outcome. I'd prefer to still be in the driver's seat for the Big 12 title, however...

It's amazing to me we can't get a shot for our best shooter. To some extent, this is on Coach. Draw something up for goodness sake.

This is just getting dumb. We have the supposed #1 pick in the draft, and he won't even drive the ball.

Nothing says March Madness is approaching quite like a trio of officials slugging it out to see who can impact the game the most.

OSU can have that one back if we can have the missed goaltending calls from regulation and the marathon free throw possession from OSU in overtime.

Cobbins fouls out. Janssen with a makeup call. Really bad call there, too.

Officials might have done just enough to finally get their boys the win.
So now it's time to make a few "cover our tracks" calls for KU.

At least this double OT game is coming on a Sat - wed. schedule and not on one of our million monday night games.
