NORMAN, Okla. -- One game after unloading 39 shots in a loss, Trae Young beat Kansas on Tuesday night with a pass.
Trailing by a point in the final minute, the Oklahoma freshman point guard dribbled underneath the basket. But instead of forcing a wild attempt, Young kicked a pass to the corner, giving teammate Christian James a wide-open 3-point look.
James sank the shot and the Sooners went on to knock off fifth-ranked Kansas 85-80, closing the gap on the Jayhawks in the Big 12 standings.
Young bounced back from Saturday's overtime defeat at Oklahoma State with a spectacularly efficient performance against the Jayhawks.
