OU basketball: Locals Kristian Doolittle, Brady Manek lead in toppling Kansas reign

NORMAN — It wasn’t just that Kansas’ 14-year reign as King of the Big 12 ended at Oklahoma. It was that two Oklahomans were the ones to finally ensure the Jayhawks wouldn’t finish atop the conference.

In doing so, Edmond’s own Kristian Doolittle and Harrah’s Brady Manek helped to almost certainly seal a Sooner berth in the NCAA Tournament.

“The Streak,” as it’s come to be known as, was a mere subplot in Oklahoma’s 81-68 win.

Brady Manek walked to the Sooner bench as timeout was called four and a half minutes into the game. His arms stretched up, and fingers on both hands were curled in the shape of three.
