Austin, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - A Top-25 matchup is on tap at the Frank Erwin Center on Saturday afternoon, as the 11th-ranked Kansas Jayhawks and 17th- ranked Texas Longhorns square off in a Big 12 battle. Bill Selfs Jayhawks are sitting pretty atop the Big 12 standings, tied with Iowa State at 4-1, although Kansas lone league loss came at Iowa State last weekend. The team was able to get some distance from that setback however, with Mondays 85-78 win over nationally-ranked Oklahoma. It was the teams sixth win in the last seven games and moved Kansas to 15-3 overall. Rick Barnes Longhorns are a game back in the conference standings at 3-2. Texas enters with a brief two-game win streak in tow, including the most recent outing, a 66-48 rout of TCU in the road on Monday. The Erwin Center has been a safe haven for Texas, which is 9-2 at home this season and 234-34 all- time in the building in Barnes tenure. This is the 32nd all-time meeting in this series, with Kansas holding a sizable 23-8 advantage. The Jayhawks have won five of the last six meetings and nine of the last 11 overall. Kansas was able to post its 18th straight win in the Allen Fieldhouse with a strong performance against a very good Oklahoma squad. The Jayhawks used a barrage of 3-pointers in the first half, tying the school record with nine treys in the first 20 minutes, leading to a 51-32 edge at intermission. Overall, Kansas rolled up 85 points on a solid .483 shooting, as five Jayhawks finished in double figures. Kelly Oubre Jr. led the way with 19 points. Perry Ellis poured in 16, followed by Cliff Alexander (13 pts), Brannen Greene (12 pts) and Frank Mason III (10 pts). The offensive outburst was a bit shocking, considering Kansas hasnt really been a juggernaut this season. The team has posted modest numbers overall, averaging 72.3 ppg on .435 shooting. KU has been dominant at times on the glass, where it sports a +7.1 rebounding margin. Ellis is tops on the team in scoring (12.8 ppg) and rebounding (6.7 rpg). Mason is an all-around threat, showing the ability to score (12.7 ppg), rebound (4.0 rpg), distribute (team- high 4.2 apg) and play tight defense (team-high 25 steals). Texas isnt going to blow out opponents with gaudy offensive performances either. The Longhorns are actually averaging just 69.9 ppg this season, but make up for it with exceptional defensive play. UT is among the nations best in scoring defense (15th at 56.8 ppg), field-goal percentage defense (fourth at .344) and rebounding margin (second at +12.2). There arent any prolific scoring options on the roster, but rather a collection of solid contributors. Myles Turner leads the way with his 11.8 ppg. He is followed closely by Jonathan Holmes (11.4 ppg), Isaiah Taylor (11.4 ppg) and Javan Felix (10.5 ppg). The Longhorns held the Horned Frogs to just .333 shooting, while connecting on .480 from the floor in the victory earlier in the week. Texas also held a 40-31 edge in rebounding and blocked nine TCU shots in the game. Felix led four Longhorns in double figures with 15 points. Taylor added 13 points, followed by Turner and Cameron Ridley, who checked in with 11 and 10 points, respectively. Earl Campbell Jersey .

Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.TORONTO - The Raptors nearly shocked everyone with their second-half comeback in an eventual defeat to the two-time defending champs. Everyone except the champs themselves, that is. "We get the best of each team we play," the Heats Dwyane Wade recognized shortly before his team handed the division-leading Raptors their ninth loss in 15 games to begin the season. "We dont even look at records, it doesnt matter." "Teams come out and theyre ready to play us, and rightfully so. Weve earned it." But the home team did not come out ready to play, not like their coach had hoped and expected them to following a similarly slow start in a defeat three days prior. "Our defence, pressure on the basketball, tags and our rotations were a step slow in the first half," Dwane Casey said after Torontos 90-83 loss to Miami. A well-oiled machine, Miamis offence steamrolled over the Raptors in the first half. Toronto fell behind by 14 at the break and trailed by as much as 20 midway through the third quarter before the alarm clock finally went off. Torontos defence woke up, holding the Heat to one field goal in the final five minutes of the third quarter and cutting the deficit to two late in the fourth. Still, as it was against Brooklyn on Tuesday and has been so often in the past, it wasnt enough to save the Raptors from suffering an inevitable loss to a team that feasts on those who lose their focus. "Right now were a one-half team," Casey said. "Weve got to get two solid halves put together." Easier said than done. "Whats it going to take," Tyler Hansbrough asked, rhetorically. "Thats a good question. Its a mindset. On the road weve had games where weve put it together and played pretty well, weve just got to do it at home." "I dont know the answer to be honest with you," he continued. "Were a hell of a team when we fight back but we cant let it get to that," said DeRozan, who again was exceptional in defeat; scoring 25 points on 10-of-20 shooting. "Weve got to be a team that plays a full, two halves of basketball." Even after showingg up late, the Raptors had their opportunities thanks in large part to a renewed defensive focus that stymied Miamis free-flowing offence late in the game.dddddddddddd Alas, Toronto turned the ball over 21 times - leading to 26 Heat points - and missed eight of ten fourth-quarter free throws. DeRozan and Gay, both 80 per cent free throw shooters on the season prior to Fridays game, connected on five of their 14 attempts from the stripe. "Thats everything," Gay said of the missed free throws. "To finish a game youve got to hit free throws and finish at the rim. It was tough for us to do either." Coming off a 3-for-12 performance on Tuesday - one that prompted a late-night shooting session - Gay was moderately better, scoring 21 points, however he needed 21 shots to do so. His inefficiency from the painted area persisted, especially late in the game, and his pair of missed free throws with a minute and a half left were crucial in defeat. The Raptors are still searching for an answer to Caseys conundrum. How do they put it all together? The Heat are and will continue to be the NBAs bench mark. Theyre more than an enormously talented team. On top of their talent they have developed an identity and chemistry as a team that is a joy to watch and almost impossible to stop. No matter how talented the team, the Heat know that what theyve been able to achieve does not come easy for anybody. "You cant cheat it," Wade preached. "I think the first year when we were together we tried to cheat it, we tried to say, lets do it right now and we got to the championship but when we got there we realized that the continuity that we really needed, when we really needed it, wasnt there." "We didnt have enough time to build it. So it takes time to build." Toronto has dropped 12 straight games to the Heat since LeBron James and Chris Bosh joined forces with Wade and 13 straight contests to Miami overall. Up next The Raptors will conclude a season-long four game homestand on Sunday afternoon playing host to the Denver Nuggets, a game you can catch on TSN 1050 Radio beginning at 1:00pm et.
