When: 7 p.m. today
Where: Allen Fieldhouse
Who: Texas
Series: UT leads, 19-10
Going in different directions: Losers in six straight and eight of the last 10 games, Kansas University’s women’s basketball team faces yet another daunting test tonight when the Jayhawks play host to No. 4-ranked — and undefeated — Texas, at Allen Fieldhouse.
The Longhorns (15-0 overall, 4-0 Big 12) have won every league game so far by at least 11 points and by an average margin of 21.5 points.
The Jayhawks (5-10, 0-4) have lost by an average margin of 19.3 points in conference games.
Streaking: Texas center Imani Boyette has utilized her size (6-foot-7) to control the paint in Big 12 play. The senior post player has produced four straight double-doubles, averaging 15.5 points and 13.3 rebounds in conference action.
In four league games, Boyette is making 55.6 percent of her field-goal attempts and blocking 5.3 shots a game.
Slumping: As one might expect from a team on a six-game skid, Kansas has not shot the ball well of late. The Jayhawks have connected on less than 40 percent of their attempts in each Big 12 game.
