Kansas 73, Texas 63

Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas, the Texas Longhorns gave it all they had but fell short 73-63 to the #4-ranked Kansas Jayhawks. National Player of the Year candidate Thomas Robinson ran roughshod over the Longhorns defense, scoring 25 points and grabbing 5 offensive rebounds. Meanwhile, Jayhawks point guard Tyshawn Taylor poured in 22 points on 7-11 shooting from the field. Fortunately for Texas, J'Covan Brown yet again proved himself as a lethal marksman, scoring 33 points and making 14 of 15 free throws along the way. But with fellow starters Myck Kabongo and Sheldon McClellan combining to shoot only 2-17 and Alexis Wangmene going down for the remainder of the season with a wrist injury, it was an uphill battle for the Longhorns to say the least. Now, unsure whether their 19-12 regular season record will get them into the NCAA Tournament, the Longhorns will face a tough Iowa State squad in the 1st round of the Big12 Tournament.
