Kansas slogs out win against Texas, but Jayhawks remain vulnerable

Despite what the pedigree of the players and the fluctuating rhythms of any given season say, despite the fact Kansas would probably be a No. 1 seed if the NCAA Tournament committee were making its bracket now, two losses in three games were enough to inspire anxieties.

Then came a jumbled, clumsy start against Texas on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse, where KU had been 199-9 under coach Bill Self but suddenly looked anything but impregnable.

As the Jayhawks were making just two of their first 12 field goals and committing four turnovers, Texas seized a 17-5 lead.
