AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -The Texas Longhorns have taken a long hard fall from No. 1.
When they were 17-0, no team was playing better. But that was six weeks ago, before inconsistency set in along with the losses and the injuries. Before lousy free throwing shooting started costing them games and before fans started griping about coach Rick Barnes for the first time in his 12 years at Texas.
On Monday, Texas became just the fifth team in the history of The Associated Press rankings to fall out of the poll after reaching No. 1. The most recent team to do it was Alabama in 2003.
It had been the first time in school history Texas had reached No. 1.
