At one point it looked like this game may be for the Big 12 title. Then it looked like it may determine whether Kansas shares the title or keeps it themselves. Now, with Kansas hanging on to win two tough (ugly?) games at home, and Texas dropping back to back contests, the Jayhawks have wrapped up the title for themselves. That means the only thing on the line Saturday is pride, and a stronger case for the top overall seed in this year’s tournament.
Back in November, before the Chris Beard situation, this Texas team was actually 1st in the country in KenPom’s ratings.
