A really huge win for the Texas basketball program and head coach Shaka Smart arrived on the road in Lawrence on Jan. 2 against No. 3 ranked Kansas.

After a thoroughly dominant performance for No. 8 ranked Texas basketball on the road at Allen Fieldhouse on the afternoon of Jan. 2, head coach Shaka Smart has his team primed for a huge run in the Big 12 for the rest of the conference slate. Texas controlled this key game over the weekend, and after the turn of the calendar year, from the very get go.
