Texas has been on a bit of a midseason break due to Iowa State and TCU dealing with COVID-19. The Longhorns haven’t taken the court since Jan. 16 and will be back in action on Tuesday against Oklahoma.
Due to the week off, Texas has remained put at No. 5 in the Ferris Motors Coaches poll. Michigan has jumped up three spots to No. 4 after blowout wins against Maryland and Purdue.
Baylor, who is still undefeated (11-0) and atop the Big 12, is still the No. 2 team in the country behind Gonzaga. Texas Tech rounds out the top 10, while West Virginia moved up four spots to No. 11. Kansas dropped outside of the top 15 for the first time this season.
