The Shaka Smart era of Texas basketball hit a new peak on Saturday when the No. 8 Longhorns snapped a nine-game road losing streak against Kansas by dispatching the No. 3 Jayhawks 84-59 with a dominant offensive performance at Allen Fieldhouse. Texas hit 8-of-13 3-pointers in the second half while snapping Kansas' eight-game winning streak and proving it belongs in the Big 12 title conversation.
Jalen Wilson led Kansas with 20 points, scoring 14 of them in the second half. But his team's shoddy defense stymied Wilson's efforts to lead the Jayhawks back. The Longhorns hit six straight 3-pointers to begin the second half and had no trouble attacking the basket as they handed Kansas (8-2, 2-1 Big 12) its worst home loss under Bill Self.
Courtney Ramey led the way for Texas (8-1, 2-0) with 18 points and fellow guards Andrew Jones and Matt Coleman III contributed 14 and 13, respectively. The Longhorns also looked better on the interior as senior forward Jericho Sims notched a double-double with 11 points points and 12 rebounds. Kansas shot just 30.8% from the field and made just 3-of-23 attempts from 3-point range.
