Texas +2 Kansas - The talented, if often unfocused, Longhorns return home for a game they've circled on their calendar from the start of the season. Kansas stumbles in a bit after two lackluster performances against teams with a combined 3-14 record in conference. Texas arrives with their own struggles, losing 4 of their last 6, including a home loss in overtime against Baylor. All that said, this is the one facility in the conference that KU truly struggles at...dropping 3 straight and 4 of their last 5. Even the 2008 National Championship team managed to lose in Austin. Damion James provide a difficult matchup for anybody, but it'll be especially troublesome for KU...as they've come to rely on Marcus Morris for points and he'll draw the defensive assignment. Dexter Pittman has the size required to provide trouble for Cole Aldrich, and Texas has perimeter athleticism to run at Sherron Collins. The Jayhawks have been surviving on talent the last couple of games and can't tonight.
