Despite having already wrapped up the season series with two other Big 12 teams, Kansas is getting their first look at the Texas Longhorns tonight. On the day Chris Beard was arrested in December, KU was 9-1, coming off a beatdown of the Missouri Tigers. In the following days and weeks, Texas would go to overtime with Rice, and open Big 12 play with a one point win over Oklahoma, and by somehow giving up 116 points at home to Kansas State. Kansas had just kept winning games, and it appeared the two teams were headed in different trajectories this season.
