Kansas forward Jalen Wilson shoots over Texas forward Christian Bishop during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game Monday, Feb. 6, 2023, in Lawrence, Kan.LAWRENCE, Kan. — Texas interim coach Rodney Terry has spent enough time in this league to know 20-time Big 12 champion Kansas is never truly vulnerable.
“Kansas is never reeling,” Terry said. “They got a Hall of Fame coach, always prepares his guys to play at a high level. I’ve never not known a time where the Big 12 didn’t go through Kansas. It’s still a really good team.” Texas did everything in its power to shut down Kansas’ leading scorer Jalen Wilson, who’d posted at least 20 points in six straight games heading into ESPN’s “Big Monday” game. That part of the plan, at least, worked just fine.
Just like Kansas, Texas has proved adept at picking itself up off the mat. These Longhorns had already pulled off three double-digit comebacks this season, including Saturday’s rally against No. 7 Kansas State in Manhattan, Kan., and had its eyes on making it a quartet.After Harris recovered his own missed jumper and Kansas reset, Yesufu missed a 3-pointer. Texas forward Dillon Mitchell slapped the rebound out — to KU forward KJ Adams Jr.
