The Longhorns kept up with the Jayhawks at first, even taking the lead twice to prevent Kansas from taking a commanding lead. This was a familiar story for the Texas team. But by the conclusion of the first half, Texas had let the lead to slip away, with a 20-point deficit at the break thanks to careless shot attempts and a formidable Kansas front on both ends of the court.
Texas shot a pitiful 26% from field goal range in the half, compared to Kansas’ 58%, one of the lowest percentages from any half this season. Texas had a whopping 60.7% field goal percentage and 38.5% three-point percentage at the end of the second half.
To put things in perspective, Texas had missed its previous seven field goal tries while Kansas had made its previous six at one point in the first half.
