From the outset, Texas established control with a strong opening quarter lead of 19-12. Their offensive execution was on point, as evidenced by their superior field goal percentage of 48 percent compared to Kansas' 38 percent. The Longhorns' defense was equally formidable; they amassed a total of seven blocks and limited Kansas to just two points in paint.

The second quarter saw both teams battle closely, but Texas maintained their lead with consistent scoring and ended the half ahead. As play resumed after halftime, both teams added 14 points each in the third quarter; however, it was in the final quarter that Texas truly shone. They erupted for an impressive 28 points while holding Kansas to just 17.

Texas' offensive prowess was highlighted by their efficiency inside; they converted an outstanding 52 percent from two-point range and dominated second-chance opportunities with a remarkable tally of 24 second-chance points. This relentless pressure on offense was complemented by their tenacity on defense where they outrebounded Kansas with a total rebound count of 39 against Kansas' 31.

A key factor contributing to this victory was Texas’ ability to distribute the ball effectively – racking up an impressive number of assists which underscored their teamwork and fluid ball movement against Kansas’ five assists. Moreover, despite fewer attempts from beyond the arc than Kansas who shot at a decent clip from three-point range at around half accuracy rate, it did not deter Texas from maintaining its lead due largely to its overall shooting efficiency and ability to draw fouls leading them to attempt more free throws although converting them at only about two-thirds success rate.

The Jayhawks did show resilience despite trailing; they capitalized on turnovers scoring double-digit points off them and were nearly perfect from free throw line hitting close-to-all attempts which kept them within striking distance until late into game when Longhorns pulled away decisively.

As fans look forward eagerly for future matchups featuring these talented squads one thing is certain: if University of Texas continues performing like this then exciting times lie ahead for its supporters who will be hoping that such dominant displays become norm rather than exception as season progresses further into critical stages where every game counts significantly towards ultimate goal – championship glory!
