Texas is in desperate need of a victory Tuesday night after dropping three consecutive games. Oklahoma, Baylor and Oklahoma State have all taken advantage of a Longhorn squad coming off a COVID-19 pause while recovering from the virus themselves.
Luckily, Texas is traveling to Manhattan, Kansas, to face the 5-15 (1-10 in Big 12 play) Kansas State Wildcats. Losers of 10 straight, the Wildcats have not won since Dec. 29 against Omaha. Texas beat the Wildcats in Austin on Jan. 16, 82-67.
In the double-overtime loss to Oklahoma State, Texas shot 34.1% from the floor and 14.3% from behind the 3-point line. Courtney Ramey was an abysmal 1-of-9 from deep. If the Longhorns want to get back to their winning ways in the Big 12, their shooting must improve against the Wildcats.
