Texas Stops Kansas Home Win Streak At 69

((HT: CBS/Youtube))

J'Covan Brown scored 23 points and helped reverse a 15-point first half deficit, giving 10th-ranked Texas a 74-63 victory over second-ranked Kansas.

Kansas scored the game's first 10 points, but Texas ((now 16-3, 4-0 in the Big 12)) outscored the Jayhawks 36-13 while turning a 12-point halftime deficit into a 59-48 lead on a second-half three by Cory Joseph.

Here's your recap...


The Jayhawks ((now 18-1, and 3-1 in the Big 12)) had not lost at home since February 3rd, 2007. They were 7-0 at home against Texas since the inception of the Big 12 back in 1996.

In the second half, Kansas hit only 8 of 30 shots from the floor...

K-State Knocks Off Number One Texas

((HT: KTKA-TV Topeka))

Just when you thought the Big 12 couldn't get any wackier, Kansas State goes and does this...

Jamar Samuels scored 15 of his 20 points in the first half and the Wildcats knocked off previously unbeaten Texas 71-62 in Lawrence at Bramlage Coliseum.

Jacob Pullen and Denis Clemente combined for a 4-for-24 from the field as the Longhorns shot only 37-percent from the floor in the game.

Kansas State had a ten point lead at the half, but had to deal with Texas' intensity on the defensive side of the ball as well- only clocking in at 38-percent for the contest.

So much for all the hub-bub after Wildcats coach Frank Martin poked a player a week ago, right...?

Winning distracts from everything, although the HQ saw nothing really wrong with the Martin-Merrieweather incident in the first place...

Nic Hoch has your postgame wrap from the Coliseum...


The KSU kids felt compelled to chant "overrated" as the clock ticked down. Robert Montgomery Knight, who was calling the game with Brent Musburger, thought it would be a great idea to chant "Great effort" instead...

We're not kidding...and the kids didn't follow through on that request...
For some unknown reason...
