Longhorns got a taste of how good the Wildcats were earlier in season in a loss at home
Kansas State guard Cam Carter celebrates after he scored past Texas guard Tyrese Hunter during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game in Austin, Texas, Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2023. MANHATTAN, Kan. — No one outside of Kansas State seemed to think much of the Wildcats heading into this season.
But as the Longhorns prepare for Saturday’s fracas at deafening Bramlage Coliseum, they find themselves looking down at Kansas State and the league’s eight other teams. That triumph was doubly notable for Texas because it followed a humbling 11-point loss to No. 4 Tennessee in Knoxville. In the aftermath, defensive-minded Terry was as critical of the team as he’s been since taking over, expressing concern over the Longhorns getting “out-toughed” and “out-physicaled” by another Final Four aspirant.
“He challenged us on defense. He challenged us to be better,” fifth-year senior forward Timmy Allen said after the win over Baylor. “We’re a team that prides ourself on defense, being able the guard as a team and one-on-one. At Tennessee we didn’t do that. We’re not a team that’s used to getting out-toughed. That was something we dealt with a lot last year that’s been pretty quiet this year. And that’s how we kind of want to keep it.
