Texas is coming off a week in which it beat two teams — Jackson State and Texas A&M — that reached last season's NCAA Tournament. The Longhorns recorded a 78-64 win over Jackson State at the Erwin Center on Wednesday. Four days later, the Longhorns earned a 76-60 victory in College Station.
Texas is now 6-1 this season. Two of those wins are against Stanford and Texas A&M teams that were ranked third and 17th at the time. Tennessee was ranked 16th when it beat UT in overtime on Nov. 21.
Stanford, Tennessee and Texas A&M were voted into fourth, ninth and 18th slots of this week's poll.
Texas only has one game on this week's schedule. The Longhorns will host Idaho (1-6) on Saturday afternoon.
