The next test up for No. 10 Texas basketball and interim head coach Rodney Terry comes on Feb. 6 on the road at Allen Fieldhouse against the No. 8 ranked Kansas Jayhawks. Texas will battle a Kansas team that is trying to prevent falling into a further slump of late.

Texas and Kansas are two teams headed in opposite directions lately. Kansas has lost four of its last six outings after a convincing 68-53 defeat at the hands of the No. 13 Iowa State Cyclones at Hilton Coliseum in Ames on Feb. 4. The loss to Iowa State gives Kansas a record of 18-5 (6-4 Big 12) heading into this matchup against Texas.

Meanwhile, Texas is riding a high coming into this one after downing two straight top-11-ranked teams in the last six days. Texas beat the No. 11 Baylor Bears at home at the Moody Center in Austin on Jan. 10 by the final score of 76-71. And then, the Longhorns topped the No. 7 Kansas State Wildcats on the road at Bramlage Coliseum on Feb. 4 by the final score of 69-66.

The win over Kansas State gives Texas a record of 19-4 (8-2 Big 12) heading into this battle against Kansas.

Here’s a look at the TV/streaming information and game time as Texas hits the road to face Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence on Feb. 6.

Texas vs. Kansas preview

In the last decade, Texas hasn’t found much success at Allen Fieldhouse, as is the case with most Big 12 teams. Texas got its first win at Allen Fieldhouse a little over a decade when it topped the Jayhawks during the 2020-21 season in overtime.

Kansas also topped Texas in overtime at Allen Fieldhouse last season, by the final score of 70-63. But Texas and Kansas ultimately split the regular season series thanks to a win at the Erwin Center for the Longhorns.
