Texas tightens D, hands Kansas first Big 12 loss

Isaiah Taylor scored 23 points, Jonathan Holmes had 22 and No. 25 Texas beat the Jayhawks 81-69 on Saturday for its sixth consecutive victory.

The Longhorns (17-4, 6-2) thumped the Jayhawks with suffocating defense that held the Big 12's best shooting team to 39 percent from the floor.

Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins, who averaged 24 points over the previous three games, scored seven before fouling out late. Wayne Selden Jr., scored 21 for the Jayhawks (16-5, 7-1).
