    Kansas up 9pts with 48seconds. Pretty much the game.

    LOL, I meant on the upset happening. As of now though it will be Texas winning. They were only 7 pt dogs though.

    BTW, this will be Texas first EVER win in Allen Field, and ends Kansas 69 home win streak. Kansas started the game up 16-2, and was up 12 at half!! Guess that team chemistry could come through today! ;)

    Still, it wasnt a HUGE upset as they were only favored by 7.

    Pretty HUGE considering Texas had NEVER won there, and Kansas had won 69 straight.

    Hold on just a second! Texas won? This is a prime example of playing the full 40 minutes because when I was watching the first half, they were getting crushed. Now I'm mad I didn't witness the comeback smh.

    Texas was ranked #10 and 7 pt dog. It was an upset, not a HUGE upset!! LOL
  • Ironman92
    Texas with an unlikely HUGE run from the 16-2 trailing point in the 1st half.
  • Ironman92
    Texas with a HUGE win.

    So #10 Texas wins at #2 undefeated Kansas. If #1 Ohio State would have lost at #23 Illinois, which would have been the "bigger" upset? Considering home court advantage, I'd go with the Texas win being the "bigger" one.

    Very surprised to see Kansas surrender a 12-point second half lead in Allen, especially at the tail end of what was almost a 70-game home court winning streak. The Jayhawks have been unthinkably good at home during this stretch and, after getting in such a deep hole, I thought Kansas had a better chance of being eaten by a pack of prairie wolves than losing this game. The sullen and discomposed faces of Rock Chalk fans are what sports are all about. There are probably some hill people on the tip of the Blue Ridge Mountains who believe Adolph Rupp's 11-year run of undefeated ball inside Memorial Coliseum is still active, but all good things must come to an end.

    That leaves me beaming, I must say, as Duke now enjoys the longest home-court winning streak in the country at 30. Thirty. Saying that aloud really puts some perspective on the accomplishment of Kansas' 69. Deserving of an ovation. I imagine it will be another year before anyone does it again, if not longer.

    I would be happy to argue with anyone that Barnes is a top five in-game coach. And I'd have done so before this game.
