In their last outing against the Islanders, Texas dominated with a 71-55 victory. Their offensive efficiency was on full display as they shot 48 percent from the field and an outstanding 79 percent from the free-throw line. Defensively, they were just as imposing, racking up seven blocks and outrebounding their opponents by eight.


The game prior saw an even more explosive offense when they put up 96 points against LSU's Tigers in Houston's Toyota Center. The Longhorns hit an exceptional 54 percent of their shots from the field and were nearly flawless from the charity stripe at 88 percent accuracy. Their ball distribution was also noteworthy with 21 assists.

The upcoming clash promises to be exciting as Kansas State will challenge Texas' ability to maintain these high-performance levels. With home-court advantage at Moody Center—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere—Texas will look to leverage fan support in extending its winning ways.
