Feb 3, 2007 - 4:51 PM Kansas St (16-6) at No. 23 Texas (16-5) 3:30 pm ESTAUSTIN, Texas (Ticker) -- Just when you thought you saw the best of Kevin Durant, he does something even more spectacular for Texas.
Durant has a tough act to follow for the 23rd-ranked Longhorns, who go for their fourth consecutive victory Saturday when they host Kansas State in a Big 12 Conference encounter.
A 6-9 freshman, Durant became the first player in school history score more than 30 points and grab 20 rebounds in the same contest as he led Texas in Wednesday's 76-64 victory over Texas Tech.

The Longhorns have won 22 straight home games - the nation's sixth-longest active streak - and can match a school mark for consecutive Big 12 home wins (12), set from January 6, 2000-January 30, 2001.
The Wildcats have won six straight contests, including five in a row in conference play for the first time since 1989-1990. They are 5-2 in the Big 12, one game behind Texas, Kansas and Texas A&M.
Kansas State is coming off Wednesday's 80-73 triumph over Missouri. David Haskins scored 25 points and Cartier Martin added 22 with 11 rebounds for the Wildcats.
