Game Primer: Texas Longhorns at Kansas Jayhawks Basketball
The Kansas Jayhawks are back in the friendly confines of Allen Fieldhouse, looking to pick up a win to maintain a shot at competing for the Big 12 regular season title. The Texas Longhorns come to town today, hoping to get back to .500 in conference play and build a case for inclusion in the NCAA Tournament.
Kansas fell once again in the polls after the blowout loss to Texas Tech this week, but they mitigated it with a road win over Oklahoma Sooners. They were able to stay in the Top 10 of the both polls. Texas has been up and down all season, struggling to string together multiple good results.
The Jayhawks lead the all-time series 36-14, including a 17-2 mark in Allen Fieldhouse. The series has been fairly even over the last 10 meetings, with each team taking 5 wins.
