Texas’ Big 12 campaign got off to a positive start on Sunday afternoon with a win over Oklahoma State. True freshman Greg Brown has begun to show how big of a star he cant be, throwing down his second consecutive double-double of the season.
Moving to a 7-1 overall record on the season has seen the Longhorns jump into the top 10 of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll at No. 10. The ranking makes it the highest Texas has climbed in the poll this season.
