The Texas Longhorns traveled to Lawrence, Kansas to take on The Jayhawks. KU came into the game with a 1-11 conference record with their lone victory coming against Texas Tech. The Jayhawks added the Longhorns to their short list of victories with the score of 82-67.
The game stayed close throughout until the final quarter. After falling behind The Jayhawks 41-31 at the half, the Longhorns came out with a big third quarter, outscoring them 21-12 to get within one point of tying the game. Celeste Taylor who provided 15 points off the bench gave them the lead early in the fourth quarter.
Kansas quickly answered with a 10 run that stretched the next four minutes to build their lead back up to eight. Taylor scored 11 of her 15 points in the fourth but just wasn’t able to get Texas back in the game. Joyner Holmes added two of her team-high 17 and Charli Collier added two more. The stretches of scoring droughts ruined the Longhorns chances of getting back in the game as Kansas outscored them 29-15 to take the 15-point victory.
The Longhorns will head back home to host West Virginia on Monday.
