Texas has shown that they can compete with the best teams in the country at times.
However, they’ve lacked consistency in their play. Marcus Carr and Timmy Allen combined for six points on 2-of-12 shooting in the 61-55 loss to Texas Tech over the weekend.
The loss caused Texas to drop two spots in the latest rankings this week. Chris Beard’s squad is hoping to get back in the win column when they host TCU on Feb. 23.
