With Texas already in the national spotlight after firing football head coach Tom Herman, the men's basketball program found a way to put the school back in positive light.
The No. 8 Longhorns routed No. 3 Kansas, 84–59, marking the largest home loss under head coach Bill Self and ending the Longhorn's nine-game road losing streak to the Jayhawks.
The loss also snapped Kansas's eight-game winning streak this season, its last loss being Nov. 26, 2020 against Gonzaga.
According to ESPN's Jeff Borzello, the previous largest margin-of-defeat under the Kansas coach at home was 12 points.
