Kansas had multiple chances to win the game, but kept coming up short. In the end, it was Houston celebrating a double overtime victory.

The Cougars overcame six-point deficits with 1:09 remaining in regulation and eight seconds left in overtime to beat KU

Kansas, in the first overtime period, took a 79-73 lead with 23 seconds left after Griffen made two free throws. But Houston’s Emanuel Sharp hit a 3-pointer with seven seconds left, and Houston intercepted a Zeke Mayo inbounds pass and hit a game-tying 3.

J’Wan Roberts scored 24 points, including six in two overtime periods, and No. 7 Houston beat No. 12 Kansas 92-86.

No. 5 Houston outlasted No. 12 Kansas in double overtime, 92–86, at Allen Fieldhouse in a game that was close throughout its 50 minutes of play. Kansas inbounded the ball after Houston's Emanuel Sharp hit a 3 to make the score 79–76 with eight seconds left.

The Jayhawks currently sit at No. 7 in the KenPom rankings, with a solid adjusted net rating of +27.52. While their overall performance still ranks highly, the loss to the Cougars has lowered their position from the No. 6 spot they occupied prior to the game.

Hard work paid off for Houston sixth-years Mylik Wilson and J'Wan Roberts, and their coach, in a big victory at Allen Fieldhouse.

Houston took an unlikely path to victory in Allen Fieldhouse last weekend when the Cougars rallied from six points down in the final seconds of overtime, then beat Kansas in the second extra period. But the outcome itself was not unusual. Road teams are thriving in the Big 12 compared to prior years.

Sure, the win at Kansas is really the only marquee victory Houston has so far this season, but a 13-game winning streak with 11 double-digit wins over that stretch earns Kelvin Sampson's team a place in the top tier of the sport.
