play

The program orchestrated a record-breaking effort after a key win on Tuesday night.

The previous record of 199 points was set in 2002 when Texas beat Colorado.

The 219 total points are the third most ever scored in a Big 12 conference game.

It was the most points scored by an unranked team against a top 10 team.

The most points scored by an unranked team in a road win over a top 10 team was by Kansas State.

It's the third-most points ever in a Big 12 game. There are only games above it.

• The game took place on January 23, 2008 Texas A&M defeated Texas in 5 overtime.

• ISU def. Missouri won in 4 overtime.

Kansas State's first-year head coach was shocked when he heard about the history his team had made, but he said he was more focused on the defense.

After the game, Tang said that they had given up 103 points. I'm worried about that.

The signature win for Tang's program was against the Longhorns. He is one win away from matching last season's 14 win total.

Tang said he was happy for his staff and the university. You have to pay attention to it. Tonight, we'll celebrate and then move on. The game was very good.

Nowell scored 36 points. Keyontae Johnson had a big day, finishing with 28 points, nine rebound and five assists.

Texas' 103 points weren't enough to topple a Kansas State squad that started and finished hot.

The Cats connected on more than half of their 3-point attempts and made more than half of their free throws.

The Longhorns lost to Kansas State for the first time since Chris Beard was suspended. Since then, Terry has led Texas to five straight wins, including a victory at Oklahoma in the Big-12 opener.

Tang didn't have a history with the Bears, but he called the game a big one.

The team that features eight players who were not on last year's roster has been able to blend quickly.

The guys on the roster are winners according to Tang. There are players who have won eight state titles. There are players who have won multiple games. They were here to win. The credit goes to them.
