Oklahoma's Buddy Hield put on a scoring clinic Monday night.

The senior guard poured in 46 points on just 23 shots against the top-ranked Kansas Jayhawks. While Hield's epic night wasn't quite enough to help the Sooners beat the Jayhawks -- Kansas outlasted Oklahoma in a triple overtime thriller -- it was enough to earn the respect of his opponent's fanbase.

A number of Kansas fans gave Hield a standing ovation following his postgame interview with ESPN.

What an awesome gesture by Kansas fans to cap off a truly incredible night in college basketball.
