Tharpe Saves Jayhawks
It’s not often when you can score only one field goal in two overtime periods and still come out a winner, but thanks to a clutch shot with 18 seconds to play in double overtime by Naadir Tharpe, the Kansas Jayhawks can say just that, as they survived with a 68-67 road win, Wednesday night at Oklahoma State.
