LUBBOCK, Texas - Darryl Dora hit a 3-pointer with 3.6 seconds remaining in the second overtime to give Texas Tech an 80-79 victory over No. 2 Kansas on Monday night, the Jayhawks' first conference loss this season.
A desperation shot by Aaron Miles bounced off the backboard as the buzzer sounded and the fans flooded the court and began to chant "Bobby, Bobby," for coach Bob Knight, who beat Kansas for the first time in his four seasons at Texas Tech.
Keith Langford scored all five points in the second overtime for the Jayhawks (20-2, 10-1 Big 12).
The 6-foot-9 Dora, who had missed his four 3-point attempts, got the chance to take the game-winner for the Red Raiders (16-6, 8-3) when Kansas' Aaron Miles was called for traveling with 7.9 seconds left after grabbing the rebound of a missed by Jarrius Jackson.
Kansas forced the overtime when Langford scored on a drive with 4.1 seconds left to tie it at 69.
The Jayhawks sent the game to a second overtime when Christian Moody tipped in a missed layup by Wayne Simien with 1 second to play to tie it at 74.
Martin Zeno led Texas Tech with 24 points, while Ronald Ross had 21 points and 11 rebounds.
Langford led the Jayhawks with 24 points and Simien added 20 points and 13 rebounds.
