Kansas men’s basketball faced Texas on Saturday in the championship game of the Big 12 Conference.
The top-seeded Jayhawks (27-6) entered after defeating Iowa State, the fifth-seeded team. After defeating 6-seed TCU, the No. 2-seed Longhorns (25-8) entered the tournament. The regular season series between Kansas and Texas was split.
The Big 12 regular season and tournament championships were swept by the Jayhawks. Was Kansas able to prevent the Longhorns from doing that? Last year, the Jayhawks won the Big 12 tournament.
Texas leads Kansas 70-52 with 3:47 remaining in the second half
Kansas should consider taking a break from the game’s starters at some point. The how this game has progressed in the second half, 18 points are too many to overcome. And even if the Jayhawks do succeed, they will probably not have enough time.
The most crucial thing Kansas should concentrate on right now is getting healthy in front of the NCAA tournament. It still has a chance to win back-to-back NCAA championships even though it lost this game. Overall, there is only one game.
