P.J. Tucker added 19 points and eight boards for the Longhorns (24-4, 12-2), who tied a school record for the most wins in a regular season.
The Longhorns also got 20 points off the bench, 12 from freshman point guard A.J. Abrams, to stay undefeated at home in conference play. Texas shot 55 percent and outrebouned Kansas 36-19 to snap the Jayhawks' 10-game winning streak
"We got a terrific effort from everyone," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "But we know we've got another week left in the regular season."
Texas hasn't won the Big 12 since 1999, Barnes' first season in Austin.
