No. 11 Kansas has won four straight games, including Friday’s 92-86 conference-opening win in Austin against the Texas Longhorns. It didn’t come easy for the Jayhawks, but behind 17 three-pointers, they did just enough on the defensive end to escape with their 27th straight conference-opening win.

KU looks to once again be the favorite in a loaded Big 12 race, but there were plenty of impressive statements made by competitors across the first weekend of league play. We recap all of the action and break down a crazy weekend of college basketball that saw the last of the unbeatens go down. We also preview KU’s next opponent, a top-20 team in Texas Tech looking to win its first-ever game in Lawrence.
