Is Texas basketball team still ranked in the latest AP poll despite losing to Texas Tech?
Despite a home loss to Texas Tech in its Big 12 opener Saturday as well as a dearth of impressive wins, the Texas men's basketball team remains ranked in the latest poll conducted by The Associated Press.
Texas (11-3, 0-1 Big 12) was No. 25 in Monday's poll, a drop of five spots from last week. With 148 points in the poll, the Longhorns remain ahead of Dayton, which has the most points (126) among the teams that also received votes.

Texas's other two losses came against No. 4 UConn and No. 11 Marquette. The Longhorns have not beaten any team that picked up a vote in this week's AP poll but have been ranked in every weekly poll.
Texas travels to Cincinnati on Tuesday and West Virginia on Saturday for its first Big 12 road trip of the season.
