Will Kansas men's basketball be able to capture the Big 12 Conference tournament title? Follow along for updates from its game against Texas.
He is the National Sports Media Association’s sportswriter of the year for the state of Kansas for 2022. If that can continue, and Kansas can get some more stops defensively, things will trend in the Jayhawks' direction. Kansas was able to retake the lead at 11-10 after a great play by Joseph Yesufu offensively, and then extend that lead to 13-10. The Jayhawks have four turnovers so far, that Texas has scored four points off of. Kansas has made its last three shots from the field. Now it's Kansas that's having an issue scoring the ball. There's a little less than 16 minutes left in regulation, and Harris is 0-for-2 from the field. Texas appears to have all the momentum. But at this break, the Jayhawks are still down 10 points with about 11 and a half minutes remaining in regulation. The Jayhawks' scoring has been dominated by Jalen Wilson and Joseph Yesufu, and in the second half neither has been what they were in the first. Eighteen points, with the way this game has gone in the second half, is too much to overcome. At some point, Kansas needs to think about resting the starters it has in the game.
A look at how the Kansas matches up with the Texas Longhorns heading into Saturday's Big 12 game at T-Mobile Center: Preview, prediction and betting odds.
Second, Kansas needs him to be fearless around the rim. On the flip side, KU’s paint defense needs to be much better than it was in that last meeting. So naturally, the matchup to watch in this game is Kansas’ offense vs. The bottom line: I don’t think KU will have those same foul issues, and I think the defense will play better. When they do happen, KU must get back, form a wall in the paint and keep track of cutters. TCU had bounced K-State from the tournament in advancing to the Big 12 semifinal round. Another pivotal aspect is to ensure KU star Jalen Wilson isn’t the only one scoring, so that means trying to get players like Kansas sharpshooter Gradey Dick open shots early. UT is shooting 69.9% at the rim on such plays. Texas did it primarily through its defense, holding the Jayhawks below 40% in every shooting category besides free throws (66.7%). KU split the season series, winning the other matchup in Allen Fieldhouse. Elite offense: Texas ranks 18th in adjusted offensive efficiency (116.3). 2-seeded Texas in the Big 12 Tournament final on Saturday at T-Mobile Center.

1-overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. For what it’s worth, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi previously said Kansas had secured the top seed. Among Harris’ issues was a lack of aggressiveness in looking for his shot — mainly due to the Longhorns’ ability to cut off driving lanes. Texas didn’t let Dick get to his shooting spots and face-guarded him, an approach the team used earlier this year. The duo combined for 11 points on 4-for-17 (23.5%) shooting. Those same chants have helped countless teams over the years at Allen Fieldhouse but weren’t enough on Saturday.
The Longhorns will look to win the rubber match against Kansas and be crowned Big 12 champions.
The Longhorns got contributions from every player in the rotation while pulling away to claim a second Big 12 tournament title in three seasons.
And I think playing in the best league in the country, we made a really good case for whatever comes out.” The Longhorns have been a No. If the Longhorns do grab at least a No. 12 for a charge of assaulting a family member after a confrontation with his fiancée at their home](https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/basketball/2023/01/05/texas-chris-beard-fired-longhorns-basketball-coach-arrest/69782131007/). Kansas, the defending national champion, has a good chance at claiming the No. 1 overall seed despite Saturday's loss while Texas secured a spot on at least the No. Both teams entered the game with a high seed in the NCAA Tournament secure, but they’ll learn their fate when the NCAA selection committee releases the full brackets Sunday at 5 p.m. Roberts, a longtime assistant, filled in for Bill Self, who missed the entire tournament after undergoing an emergency medical procedure earlier in the week. Dylan Disu continued his torrid play in the paint with 18 points to cap a remarkable weekend in the heart of Big 12 country. “Everybody on the court was a threat.” Kansas won the outright regular-season title while the Longhorns finished alone in second. Jabari Rice started his third straight game in place of the injured Timmy Allen and looked like his old microwave self with 17 points.
The Texas Longhorns won their second Big 12 tournament title in three years and secured an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament in the process.
It's also the second time Texas has beaten the Jayhawks in the course of just a week, also defeating Kansas in Austin, Texas, on March 4. There were eight lead changes in the first half, a back-and-forth affair that saw Texas lead by just six at the break. 3 Kansas off the court, 76-56, at the Big 12 tournament final in Kansas City on Saturday.
A lot can happen between now and when the bracket goes from pencil to pen on Sunday night. But for now, these are Saturday's winners and losers.
The loss, coupled with a NET ranking in the 80s (yikes) almost certainly means Vanderbilt, with a 20-14 season record, is headed for the NIT. 1 seed – KU plays in the best league in the country and has the No. The Commodores’ bubble is almost certainly burst after a loss in the SEC semifinals to Texas A&M in a game where they looked significantly overmatched for stretches. Nothing is set in stone, but if Houston, Alabama and Purdue all win their conference championships, UCLA could be on the outside looking in when it comes to 1 seeds. Status: Falling to a 2 seed. Dropping that game to Arizona, close as it was, coupled with the season-ending injury to Jaylen Clark, could be the two major factors the committee considers when it awards 1 seeds — and UCLA might find itself as a 2 come the selection show. [earning their first bid to the NCAA tournament in 31 years](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/meac/2023/03/11/howard-mens-basketball-earns-first-ncaa-tournament-bid-since-1992/11455182002/), the last time Howard also won the regular season championship. The Jayhawks had a terrific opportunity to wrap up the No. A 69-48 thumping of Cincinnati in the AAC semifinals has put Houston in great position to be a 1 seed when the selection committee shares the final bracket tomorrow. The Cougars are likely frustrated that they won’t get the Kansas City Regional, but if they take care of business they’ll get to play for a national championship in front of a friendly home crowd. Status: In contention for the No. The overall No.
