*****Game Thread: #8 Texas @ #3 Kansas*****

[Aaron Carrara]

The #8 Longhorns and #3 Jayhawks will tipoff at 11:00 AM at Allen Fieldhouse today on ESPN2.  The trip to Lawrence marks the first true road game for the Longhorns, who did post a 3-0 record in Asheville, NC in the Maui Invitational.

Texas has beaten Kansas just 9 times in 44 games and lost their last matchup in Lawrence 69-58 last year.

This game could go a long way for Shaka if we can pull out a victory.

Rough time for a big hoops game when the schools head football coach gets fired!

Texas leads Kansas 28-24, 4:52 remaining 1st half.

Dammit!

All this "Herman's fired" BS and I miss a great road win. Way to go, #TexasHoops! ?

Would love to see Shaka have a great season. Go Horns!

Bill Self says it all...

Good thing we didn't fire Shaka.

This should give you an idea of how much of CDC's reasoning was not related to football. Herman coached well enough to keep his job in most places. Rousing bowl win, recovered from early season stumblings. There was much more behind the scenes between CDC and TH than we will ever know.

Who would've thought Texas beating Kansas at Allen FH by 25 points would be the 2nd tier news of the day.  Great win for Shaka and the boys.
