[NLeininger]

The idiocy of voters. Creighton has crushed Villanova twice, and is ranked behind them by 2 spots. Big 12 still getting no respect despite being the Top ranked conference.

 

[utisdabomb12]

I hope they keep ranking us low. Texas plays better when pissed off. Keep doubting the Longhorns, that's one of the things that's driven this team the entire year.

 

[bbdude]

Horns sit at #17 in the Coaches Poll.

 

[SFlonghorngirl]

Texas currently a 4 seed in the East according to Jerry Palm's latest Bracketology.

[JimR]

total nonsense, but I do not care.

 

[BevoBlake]

I'm totally fine with a lower ranking. The lower the ranking, the harder they work. Let them label us the underdog.

They all know we are coming............will be fun to watch Texas Longhorns in the playoffs.

 

[MikeV73]

Gotta like the ascension by the Horns and the cliff dive by Baylor this year.

 

[NLeininger]

Gotta like the ascension by the Horns and the cliff dive by Baylor this year.

OSU as well, since they are also a finalist for Turner.

 

[MikeV73]

Anybody watch Wichita st this season? Have they played anybody decent? I know they made the final four last season so they must be for real. I like the black and gold unforms and wacky mascot...good stuff

 

[MikeV73]

Osu definitely winning the big 12 dumpster fire award this season...players kicked off team, smart with numerous meltdowns and subpar play. I didn't remember he was a Texas lean only to go ok st at last hour (per prior message board threads I've read here). Hope Turner is watching how Barnes and company are developing Ridley. I saw a quote from Turners dad regarding the improvement in Cam's play this year. Keep the home grown talent at the 40 acres!

Smart went to OSU because UT did not offer Forte.

They've played one ranked opponent in St Louis. Other than that they don't play anybody but they are a very good team that plays well. They'll be fun to watch in the tourney. Just have to see what happens when they meet legit competition.

They remind me of the SDST team with Kiawhi Leonard.

Had Texas beaten BYU, they would have played Wichita State.
