Kansas (and their sixth player, the refs) will host the Oklahoma Sooners this weekend at Allen Field House.

Kansas center Hunter Dickinson reacts after a controversial flagrant foul at the end of the game against TCU. Kansas would win the game 83-81, and, as a result, they are the number two team in our initial Big 12 Men's Basketball Power Rankings.

Both teams are 1-1 on the season in conference play, Oklahoma is coming off an upset by TCU, and Kansas was stunned by UCF. The Jayhawks are undefeated at home and look to continue against a Sooners team led by Otega Oweh, shooting nearly 60% from the field and averaging 14 points a game.

Kansas is led by a three-headed monster of K.J Adams, Hunter Dickinson, and Kevin McCullar Jr. Dickinson is fourth in the country in rebounds per game at 12, and McCullar is 28th in the country in average points per game at 20. 

Will the Sooners be able to go into AFH and take this one away, or will they fall to the hands of the referees who always seem to bail out the Jayhawks in a close one? The game will be a 1 p.m. on Saturday.
