The stats-backed strengths and weaknesses of powerhouses Texas and Kansas

With a Matchup Quality of 97.7 (fifth best this season), tonight's clash between Texas and Kansas (9 p.m. ET, ESPN) is one you won't want to miss. Two of the top teams in men's college basketball all season long, the Longhorns and Jayhawks are currently ranked sixth and 13th, respectively, by ESPN Analytics' BPI. Both have performed well despite difficult schedules, earning Kansas the No. 3 spot and Texas the No. 4 in our strength of record metric.

The similarities don't stop there. In the preseason, BPI had Texas as the second-best team in the country and Kansas at 13th.
