Texas landed at No. 22 to close out the regular season in the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.
It aligns with where the AP Poll has the Longhorns ranked this week as well. The slight drop is due to Chris Beard’s squad ending the regular season on a two-game losing streak against tough opponents in Baylor and Kansas.
Although the preseason expectations were surely higher than what was accomplished this season, it was still one of the best seasons Texas has put together in recent memory. They’ll now look to make a run in the NCAA tournament.
