No. 2 Kansas brought two winning streaks into Saturday’s game: a years-old, 69-game winning streak at Allen Fieldhouse, and a perfect 18-0 record in the 2010-11 season. No. 10 Texas overcame an awful start to snap both streaks with a 74-63 win.
The Longhorns had never won at Allen Fieldhouse, but that wasn’t the most daunting factor: six minutes into the game, the Jayhawks built an 18-3 lead. Texas then responded with a run of its own, outscoring Kansas 40-16 at one point.
Texas was jump-started by guard J’Covan Brown. The sophomore, who scored 23 points, also came up with a couple of big defensive plays that helped to swing the momentum. The Longhorns out-rebounded the Jayhawks with the help of Jordan Hamilton and Cory Joseph, who recorded nine boards apiece.
Kansas was plagued by problems at the free-throw line, including one instance in which a shooter was called for stepping over the line. After a hot start, the Jayhawks finished with a 35.9 percent mark from the field.
