Texas Basketball Cracks AP Top 25 For First Time Since 2010-11

Texas entered the AP Top 25 for men's basketball for the first time since the 2010-11 season.

The Longhorns, after defeating three ranked teams in a row (No. 8 Iowa State, No. 22 Kansas State, No. 24 Baylor) for the first time in school history, are ranked No. 25.

After defeating No. 8 Iowa State in their biggest win of the year, it took a last-second three pointer to carry Texas over No. 22 Kansas State. Texas capped off its five-game win streak with a 74-60 win over No. 24 Baylor Saturday afternoon.

Despite cracking the AP Poll, Texas did not enter the top 25 of the Coaches Poll. However, Texas did receive 41 votes.

Arizona remains in No. 1, a position they've held for seven consecutive weeks. The other two undefeated teams, Syracuse and Wichita State, hold the No. 2 and No. 4 positions respectively.
