Kansas’ winning streak in Allen Fieldhouse has reached 50 games and counting.
Devonté Graham, Frank Mason and Josh Jackson combined for 50 points and an KU’s defense plucked a season-high 14 steals Saturday as the Jayhawks (18-1, 7-0) claimed a 79-67 victory.
The Jayhawks overcame a Texas (7-12, 1-6) team that was led by the 22-point, 19-rebound outing of freshman Jarrett Allen.
Graham scored 18, Mason 17, Jackson 15 and Svi Mykhailiuk 12 for KU. Landen Lucas had 14 rebounds.
Allen’s effort — he missed a couple minutes of the second half after injuring his ankle but returned with 7:45 remainng — flirted with the all-time KU opponent record of 22 rebounds in a conference game by Iowa State’s Chuck Duncan in 1995.
