Kansas basketball will attempt their second straight road win today against Texas. Here are the odds, game time, channel, radio, and more.
Kansas basketball still has a few question marks going into their game today, most notable of which is Devon Dotson. The star point guard is averaging 18 points per game this season, and he’s the most important player on the team.

The Jayhawks might get Dotson back against the Longhorns according to head coach Bill Self, who said: “I know [Dotson’s] making progress,” for whatever that’s worth. While the Jayhawks could probably handle Texas without Dotson, having the best scorer in the Big 12 would certainly help.

The key for Kansas to beat Texas revolves around the Jayhawk offense. The defense has shown up almost every game this season, and there’s no reason to think things will be different against the Longhorns.
Last week on the offensive side of things, Isaiah Moss lit up the scoreboard knocking down six threes, scoring a career-high 20 points in Dotson’s absence. This week, the Jayhawks will need Moss and Udoka Azubuike to play well, along with Marcus Garrett.
When Dotson was out, Garrett started and played nearly the entire game at point guard. He played well, totaling 15 points, five assists, five rebounds, and only one turnover. Garrett will probably play quite a bit at point guard, assuming Coach Self limits Dotson’s minutes due to his hip pointer.
Kansas basketball has a chance this afternoon to pick up an important road win. The Big 12 race is still in the early stages and these first games could very well be the difference late in the season.
