Kansas Jayhawks vs. Texas Longhorns: Watch Online Big 12 College Basketball Rival Games Streaming 7:30 PM ET ESPN

The Kansas Jayhawks are currently leading the Big 12 and aim to keep it that way. The team is looking for revenge on Saturday as they prepare to battle conference rival Texas who beat them just a month ago. While Kansas is coming off a last-second victory, the Longhorns have suffered a loss that knocks them back in the conference standings and hurts their chances at the regular-season title.

No. 8 Kansas is aiming to earn their 10th straight conference championship, but a home loss to the Longhorns could end that run. The team escaped Texas Tech on Tuesday as Andrew Wiggins put up a last-second layup for the 64-63 win. The freshman finished with 19 points while Joel Embiid added another 18 to the total.

The win against Texas Tech puts Kansas two games ahead of Texas in the conference after the Longhorns fell to Iowa State on Tuesday. The Longhorns ended Kansas' 7-0 streak to open conference play a month ago when they got the 81-69 win at home. Wiggins was held to just seven points going 2 of 12 from the floor. As a team, Kansas shot just 38.5 overall.

Kansas will ride high on the home court advantage. The team is 12-1 at Allen Fieldhouse while shooting 53.8 percent on their home court. They are currently on a six-game home win streak, outscoring opponents by an average of 15.5 points. On the other hand, Texas has drooped nine straight road games to ranked opponents. The Jayhawks beat them 73-47 in Lawrence last year.
