Texas basketball has suffered with consistency issues all season.
Those struggles continued last week, as the Longhorns were able to pull off an impressive win over No. 8 Kansas, then got embarrassed on the road to No. 10 Baylor.
While each of those two Big 12 foes climbed the rankings this week, Texas stayed put at No. 20. Next up on the schedule for the Horns are two critical conference games: on the road against Oklahoma on Feb. 15 then at home vs. Texas Tech on Feb. 19.
