The No. 21 Texas Longhorns will face the No. 6 Kansas Jayhawks in Lawrence at 3:00 p.m. CST.
A few weeks ago, Longhorn was quite upset with No. 8 Kansas. On Saturday, the Longhorns will look to replicate the performance and close out the 2021-22 season with a win.
Texas is coming out of a tough home defeat to defending champion Baylor Bears 68-61. Still, Chris Beard’s team will look to extend their winning streak to four games against Bill Self and the Jayhawks dating back to 2019.
