The Texas Longhorns (14-7, 8-6) dropped one spot to #15 in the newly released AP Top 25 Poll after a home win against Kansas and a road loss to Texas Tech last week. 

With 3 regular season games left, all road games, the Longhorns are in need of a strong finish to solidify favorable seeding in the NCAA Tournament.

Texas will head to Ames Iowa for a Tuesday matchup against the Cyclones, followed by a Thursday game in Norman and a Sunday game against TCU in Fort Worth.

The Big 12 Tournament gets underway from March 10-13 at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri.

Selection Sunday for the NCAA Tournament takes place on March 14th.

Should be lower.

This is a team I can see making it to the Sweet 16, or getting annihilated in the opening round.  Too unpredictable and inconsistent.  

Regardless, March Madness is March Madness and a hell of a lot of fun.

The team is trending in the wrong direction. Even in the Kansas win, they shot below 40% from the field and less than 20% from three, if my memory serves me correctly. 
Sadly, I haven’t seen much that gets my hopes up for a tournament run. 
I would be thrilled to be wrong though.

Can't get my hopes up either. That happened earlier this year. lol

Maybe we have some sort of fatigue setting in. That would help explain the shooting.

We will never make a deep tournament run with Shaka.
