Does Kansas keep Texas at arm’s length long enough to win the game? Check and check. For as much as Texas fans like to think Texas should compete with the Jayhawks, Texas still has yet to notch their 10th victory against Kansas....ever. Texas has won in Lawrence exactly one time...ever. Kansas basketball is to Texas what Texas football is to Texas A&M, except more lopsided.
