The Jayhawks come into the game with a 25-5 record and are riding a seven-game win streak and are staring down a No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA tournament. The Longhorns have a 19-11 record and have won six of their last eight games including the last two in a row. They have been considered a bubble team in the past which makes this a big game for Texas. In their last meeting on Jan. 21, the Jayhawks won by a score of 69-66.
Kansas is led by junior forward Thomas Robinson, who is averaging 17.8 points per game, and senior guard Tyshawn Taylor, who is averaging 17.1.
