Texas vs Kansas Game Preview

Why Texas Will Win

Texas needed that.

The loss at Tennessee can certainly be forgiven, and losing to Iowa State in Ames apparently isn’t anything to get weird about – more on that in a moment – but it was the gut-check 69-66 win at Kansas State that might turn into the signature game of the regular season.

Lose that, and with this trip to Kansas, there would’ve been an honest shot of dropping three of its last four games.

Instead, it overcame a slew of mistakes, got the offense going, and now it can  play a little looser in this.

The Longhorns struggled from three in Manhattan, but it’s normally great from the outside, they have the scoring punch to keep up with the Jayhawks, and there won’t be any issues staying alive on the boards.

While they’re coming in off a huge performance …

Why Kansas Will Win

Let’s just say the performance in the 68-53 loss at Iowa State on Saturday didn’t reflect the team’s best work.

It was sluggish from the start, sloppy throughout, and it never got the shooting going.

There might have been a problem in the stunning 23-point loss to TCU a few weeks ago, but that was the lone loss at home. It’s 11-1 in Lawrence, and now after losing four of its last six games there’s a greater sense of urgency to come up with something big.

They’ve got to move the ball around better. They turned it over 20 times against Kansas State and generated just 12 assists. They’re 16-2 when coming up with 14 or more and have yet to come up with fewer than 15 at home.

That matters because it – duh – means the offense is moving better, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Texas is 13-1 when teams come up with fewer than 12 assists.

Kansas will have a hard time running Texas out of the gym, but it’ll be far more energized and far sharper than they were on Saturday. The offense will get more consistent production from the outside, and yes, it’ll all start from better ball movement.

Texas Basketball: Examining the importance of earning the No. 1 seed

Beating Kansas can make Texas’ tournament path less restrictive in March.

The Texas Longhorns have not reached the Sweet 16 since 2008. That season, Texas ultimately fell to the Memphis Tigers in the Elite Eight.

Rodney Terry’s team will look to snap that abysmal streak with a berth in this year’s Round of 16. They can increase their chances of reaching that goal by winning games like Monday night’s matchup against Kansas and earning a No. 1 seed.

Last week’s wins over then No. 7 Kansas State and No. 11 Baylor are important for a number of reasons. The most important reason revolves around bolstering a No. 1 seed resume.

For starters, only one No. 1 seed has lost to its first opponent in a tournament model of 64 teams or more. Virginia fell to UMBC in 2018.

Escaping past the next opponent has been difficult in recent years, but the odds of a first round exit are slim for most teams.

On top of that, No. 1 seeds are nearly twice as likely to reach the Final Four as No. 2 seeds. Since the tournament grew to over 64 teams, over 52% of tournaments have seen two or more No. 1 seeds reach the Final Four.

Put simply, Texas can do nearly as much to determine its fate during the regular season as it can in March. With wins over Gonzaga, Kansas State, Baylor and TCU in hand, a win at No. 9 Kansas can inch the Longhorns closer to a deep tournament run.

Why Texas Will Win

Be shocked if this isn’t the Bijan Robinson show.

5 was held to just 29 yards on 12 carries in the tough loss to TCU last week and now he’ll bust out against a Kansas defense that’s been a tad rough against the run allowing 260 yards or more in three of the last four games.

Robinson was on a roll going into the showdown against the Horned Frogs – over 100 yards in seven straight games – and now the big runs should come.

Kansas can’t come up with third down stops, it’s not generating anything in the backfield, and …

– Bowl Projections

Why Kansas Will Win

The Kansas offense continues to roll.

Star QB Jalon Daniels is trying to work his way back into the mix – he’s questionable for this – but the O has been keeping up the production with close to 1,100 yards over the last two weeks with Devin Neal running every bit as well as Robinson has.

The 224-yard day against Oklahoma State was the breakout performance, and he followed it up with 190 yards against Texas Tech.

The Texas defense has been okay against the run, it’s been getting hammered lately through the air – the TCU loss aside – and at home, the Jayhawks should be balanced enough to move however it needs to.

What’s Going To Happen

It might not be the wild and crazy 57-56 game of last year – at Kansas win – but there’s a chance it isn’t far off.

This is fun time for Kansas. It’s bowl eligible, it’s the last home game of the season, and next week it’s the rivalry game against Kansas State. It’s going to let it all loose with a huge day from the offense.

This is desperation time for Texas. It’s bowl eligible, but that’s not nearly good enough in a disappointing 6-4 season so far.

The Longhorns will have a little more offense down the stretch, but Kansas will make this a whole lot of fun.

FULL PREVIEW: Texas Longhorns (6-4) vs. Kansas Jayhawks (6-4)

Texas is due for more luck this week. Here’s who to watch for in this pivotal game.

The Texas Longhorns are once again in a must-win scenario on Saturday. More than for conference title standing, this game is about bolstering program perception after losing to Kansas last season.

The Kansas Jayhawks enter the game with a 6-4 record and bowl eligible for the first time since 2008. Given Lance Leipold’s culture changing success, players likely aren’t satisfied with simply playing football in December.

The next two games for the Jayhawks provide arguably the biggest opportunity to make a statement of their own. After Kansas faces Texas they take on the in-state rival Kansas State Wildcats. With an opportunity to secure its best season since 2007, the program should bring its best effort on Saturday.

Let’s look at what to watch for in this pivotal game.

Analytics have Texas in store for another close game against Kansas

Texas is in store for another wildly competitive game.

The Texas Longhorns continue their Big 12 gauntlet on the road against Kansas this week. If you’re expecting Texas to finally break through for a decisive win, this might not be the week.

One advanced stats comparison has Texas projected to score an average of 29.0 points to Kansas’ 28.21 average. The projections give the Longhorns a 52.29 percent chance to win, but for the team in Austin games rarely go as planned.

There’s a wide array of data points for Texas heading into Saturday’s game. The first half of the season, Steve Sarkisian’s team was one of the best performers nearly every week. Quinn Ewers’ unpredictability of late makes it difficult to know what to expect from Sarkisian’s squad.

We can glean a few things from the data, although it looks to favor the Jayhawks in more than a few areas.

Let’s examine a few of the key takeaways from the above projection.

Texas vs Kansas Game Preview

Why Texas Will Win

Seriously, Texas?

Just when it seemed like it was going to take over the Big 12, and college football overall, it had a horrible second half against Oklahoma and fell apart since then.

The defense has been lousy, the offense went in the tank in the 30-7 loss to Iowa State, and …

This is what Kansas is for.

Yeah, the Jayhawks looked fantastic against Oklahoma – at least offensively – but the defense continues to be the worst in the nation at coming up with third down stops, the defense can’t do anything against the run, no team in the country is worse at generating pressure into the backfield.

This is when the Longhorns have to get its offense up and ready to go, but …

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 11

Why Kansas Will Win

Has Texas simply lost it?

Granted, it played the four best teams in the Big 12 over this four-game losing streak, but to only come up with 207 yards against Iowa State and haven’t played with enough focus or crispness.

The run defense has been steadily awful, allowing well over an average of 200 yards per game over the last four and giving up just over 200 yards per game on the season.

Kansas might be struggling to get the ground game going, but it has to give it a shot. The goal is to shorten the game, control the clock, and try to prevent the big plays from putting this away fast.

What’s Going To Happen

And now the Kansas future is being messed up by this season.

The hope was to redshirt promising quarterback Jalon Daniels, but the Jayhawks are quickly running out of options thanks to injuries.

He’s enough of a wild-card – assuming he sees time – to get the offense moving, but can Texas get its stuff together enough to focus on the one game it must have to keep bowl hopes alive?

It might not be what the team was hoping for a month ago, but at this point in a disappointing run, take the win. The explosion of the Longhorn offense will take over after a lifeless first half.

Why Texas Will Win

The Longhorns survived a thriller over Texas Tech with clutch late free throws and a few key stops in the 67-66 win. It wasn’t a normal Texas game, there were way too many mistakes and missed opportunities, but that was as much of a survive and advance game as it gets.

That makes it four straight wins for the Longhorns – all away from Austin – with the team shooting well both from inside and out. It might have seemed like a grind in the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinal, but the Red Raiders can D up.

The Longhorns won both games against Kansas, but …

Why Kansas Will Win

The Jayhawks are playing well at just the right time.

No, this isn’t the crushing and killing force that last year’s team was, but it has grown as the season has gone on, winning eight games in the last nine – the lone misfire in overtime to Texas – including a 69-62 win over Oklahoma in the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinals.

Even though there are issues, this is still the best rebounding team in the conference and should be able to offset the Longhorn normal advantage in offensive boards. The defense is forcing a ton of mistakes and Texas has a whole slew of issues giving the ball away.

What’s Going To Happen

Texas ripped through Kansas 84-59 in early January when the Jayhawks couldn’t make a thing, and got by a few weeks ago 75-72 even though it couldn’t hit anything from three.

Can Texas really beat Kansas three times in a Big 12 season? Because it’s good enough on the boards to get by – if not win the rebounding margin – then yes.

It’ll be a terrific back-and-forth slugfest.

For latest lines and to bet on the NFL, go to BetMGM

Why Texas Will Win

Very, very, very, very, very quietly, Texas is on a three game winning streak including a terrific victory over Oklahoma State on the road to stay in the hunt for the Big 12 championship.

So how is this happening? The run defense has been great, the offense has come up with a slew of timely plays, and the defensive is generating enough tackles for loss to be a bother. Most of all, Texas is winning the turnover margin and hasn’t turned it over in the last two games – it’s not going to give Kansas a slew of breaks.

Why Kansas Will Win

The Texas offense isn’t exactly clicking.

The team has a way of playing up or down to the competition, there isn’t enough of a steady running game to be a concern, and the passing attack hasn’t hit 200 yards in the last few weeks.

Kansas is okay at controlling the clock and slowing things down. If it can speed up the game and keep Texas from hitting the explosive plays, it can keep it close at home.

What’s Going To Happen

Kansas is WAY overdue for one of its patented big performances out of the blue, but the team isn’t showing anything lately defensively in blowout loss after blowout loss.

The Texas D isn’t a brick wall, but it’s playing well enough to keep the Jayhawk offense that hasn’t scored more than 17 points in five of the last six games under wraps.
