The Texas Longhorns (20-5) didn’t fall very far after a 1-1 split last week. The Longhorns fell one spot to No. 6 in college basketball’s latest AP Top 25 Poll.
With the ranking, Rodney Terry’s team stays in the Top 10 for a remarkable 13 straight weeks. To Terry’s credit, it’s easy to chart relative consistency from the team throughout the season.
There’s palpable excitement in the Lone Star State as the Longhorns travel to face the unranked Texas Tech Red Raiders (13-12) on Monday evening with revenge on their minds.
Texas won the first matchup with an impressive second half comeback before sending the game to overtime. Even so, the sting of Tech’s two-game sweep of the Longhorns last season brings added incentive to win on Monday.
With six games to go, each game certainly bears added importance. Despite the Raiders’ struggles facing the basketball team that hates Texas the most makes this matchup matter more than many prior games.
Texas will look to lock in its 14th consecutive week in the Top 10 starting Monday night.
