After a 63-41 win over Iowa State on Saturday, Texas climbed one spot in the Coaches Poll this week.
It was an impressive bounce-back game for the Longhorns, who dropped the game prior to Texas Tech 77-64.
Chris Beard’s squad will next face No. 8 Kansas in Austin on Monday evening. A big win over the Jayhawks would surely see Texas rise several spots in the rankings next week, but consistency is something the Longhorns have struggled with as of late.
