Kansas knows what it’s like to play Texas on the road a few days after staking claim to at least a share of the Big 12 basketball title.
“Last year at this time we were in the same position,” KU senior forward Landen Lucas recalled.
The 2015-16 Jayhawks defeated Texas Tech, 67-58, on Feb. 27, 2016 at Allen Fieldhouse in a game that clinched a tie for the program’s 12th straight regular-season crown with two games still to play. The Jayhawks followed that performance with an 86-56 victory over the Longhorns on Feb. 29 at Frank Erwin Center — a resounding 30-point win that wrapped up an undisputed league championship.
