David Patrick the Oklahoma Men's Basketball Associate Head Coach watched his team defeat Kansas State in a Big 12 Conference opener. Elijah Harkless (193-G-00) sank a go-ahead jumper with 35 seconds remaining, scoring 21 points to spark Oklahoma to a 71-69 victory. The basket by Harkless came after Kansas State battled back from an 11-point halftime deficit to tie the score at 65 on Ismael Massoud's 3-pointer with 63 seconds left. Umoja Gibson added 19 points, going 4 for 4 from the free-throw line in the final 17 seconds.

Jordan Goldwire (188-G-99) added 11 points, while Jalen Hill (201-F-99) and reserve C.J. Noland both scored 10. Mark Smith scored 14 of his career-high 25 points in the second half for the Wildcats (8-4), who trailed 33-22 at intermission.
