Forward Dylan Disu and No. 5 Texas fought the good fight against No. 9 Kansas and guard MJ Rice on Monday night before falling to 12-37 in the all-time series.AUSTIN — Late Monday night, about 30 minutes removed from a maddening 88-80 loss to No. 9 Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse, Texas guard Marcus Carr still smoldered with competitive energy.
Instead, Kansas did what it does, thrusting itself back into the heart of the Big 12 race. Texas saw its lead over second-place Iowa State reduced to half a game. Still, pulling out that win over the Wildcats was significant in the grand scheme. It kept Texas atop the Big 12 with seven games remaining in its regular season, four against teams currently in the top half of the standings. The Longhorns are No. 6 in ESPN's Basketball Power Index , No. 9 in NCAA NET and No. 10 in statistician Ken Pomeroy’s rankings. ESPN bracket whiz Joe Lunardi projected Texas as a solid No. 2 seed in this year’s NCAA Tournament even after Monday’s defeat.
