College Basketball Rankings: Texas Ranked No. 10/11 In Polls

by Peter Bean on Jan 17, 2011 2:37 PM CST in Texas Longhorns Basketball

After thumping Texas Tech and Oklahoma this past week, Texas saw its college basketball rankings climb in the most recent AP and USA Today Coaches Polls. The Longhorns rose to No. 10 in the AP Poll and No. 11 in the Coaches Poll, three spots up from last week.

The Texas A&M Aggies (16-1, No. 22 KenPom), impressive overtime winners over Missouri on Saturday, share inverse rankings with the Longhorns, rising to No. 10 in the AP Poll and No. 11 in the Coaches Poll. The Aggies travel to Austin on Wednesday night to take on the Longhorns.

On Saturday the Longhorns will travel to Lawrence to take on the Kansas Jayhawks (17-0, No. 3 KenPom), who are ranked No. 2 in both polls and will carry a national-best 70-game home winning streak into the contest.

Anyone watching Findlay play Lincoln on ESPNU?

Findlay is outclassing them. It is pretty much Nash going 1 on 5. Kobongo has been very impressive. Will likely end up with a double double. I do not know his name, but #0 for Findlay has the worst hands I have ever seen. Literally has dropped every pass. Findlay plays at a different speed than Lincoln and I imagine most HS teams.

Mizzou plays K-State

we play A&M and Kansas. Even Colorado and Nebraska are playing tough. The Big 12 is a beast this season. Whoever said it in the other post was right. Thanks goodness we play OU and Tech twice each.

How fun would it be to beat KU on their home court?

Especially after the DeAndre Daniels saga. Just dreamin’ but if Dogus can give them fits…

We have a 12th man and he's Bryan Harsin

Texas killed the Michigan State win streak ...

… of no losses to non-conference teams at home since something like 2003.

It would be oh-so-sweet to kill another opponent’s home court win streak. How I would love to beat KU. And they sure looked vulnerable against Nebraska.

Watch out, I bite.
