KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI - MARCH 11: Dillon Mitchell #23 of the Texas Longhorns celebrates with the team after defeating the Kansas Jayhawks in the Big 12 Tournament Championship game at T-Mobile Center on March 11, 2023 in Kansas City, Missouri. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — There’s a reason some folks laughingly refer to the Big 12 men’s basketball tournament as the “Kansas Jayhawks Invitational.”
On Saturday, top-seeded Kansas tried to make it a baker’s dozen in its 16th finals appearance. Its opponent, No. 2 seed Texas, had won this whole thing a couple years ago. The 2021 and 2022 tournament champs, two of the nation’s best teams all season long, both seemed eager to slug it out for the third time after splitting their two regular season meetings.
Graduate guard Marcus Carr banked in a runner to beat the buzzer and put Texas up 39-33 at the half. Carr finished with 17 points on 8-for-15 shooting, a much-needed shooting performance after being mired in a slump for weeks.
