The Texas Longhorns basketball team secured a significant 11-point victory on the road against TCU, marking their third Big 12 road win and adding to previous victories over Baylor and Oklahoma. This win puts Texas in a stronger position regarding NCAA tournament considerations, distancing them from the so-called 'bubble'. The team has faced a challenging schedule with a 3-2 record against five ranked opponents and is preparing to host their sixth consecutive ranked opponent in Austin. Key player Chendall Weaver contributed with 33 minutes of play, scoring 7 points and 4 rebounds, along with a strong defensive performance. Texas' current NET ranking has risen to 32 following the win, and with KenPom rankings expected to be around the top 30, their status as a team likely to make it to the NCAA tournament is reinforced with potential to improve their standing in the coming month.
Texas up to 32 in the NET this morning off the Q1 win yesterday at TCU. Horns’ resume is not without warts, but ‘tis the season, where a lot of P5 teams are in the same boat.
Post-Saturday Big 12 MBB standings update; BYU is now one of eight teams with multiple away wins in league. After today's loss by Texas Tech, only three teams remain undefeated at home in conference play. Mid-week byes next week: Cincinnati, TCU, West Virginia, UCF. https://t.co/aN5UUePOoZ
Big 12 teams went 1-6 ATS today; BYU (-7.5) was the only team to cover, and missing a starter no less. BYU was practically down two starters, with Noah Waterman ill and limited to 16 scoreless minutes.
Huge Big 12 ROAD WIN! Togetherness & toughness got it done🤘🏾@TexasMBB #HookEm https://t.co/MjmK4B9opL
Q1 road wins at Cincinnati, at Oklahoma and at TCU. NET and KenPom ranking that are likely to be borderline top 30. Texas is no-doubt currently a NCAA tournament team with room to move up over the next month.

What a massive win in Fort Worth for Texas. Longhorns put some much needed distance between themselves and the bubble. 3-2 record in a stretch against 5 ranked opponents. 6th straight ranked opponent comes to Austin on Tuesday. #HookEm
Huge win for Texas at TCU. Longhorns have definitely turned it up the last couple of weeks. Chendall Weaver is a classic athletic Glue Guy. Played 33 mins today. 7 pts 4 rebs, tenacious D.
Texas picks up its third Big 12 road win with an 11-point win at TCU. Another quality victory for the Longhorns to add to Baylor and Oklahoma from a couple of weeks ago.
Texas, a big-time bubble outfit currently staring at Dayton, is 5+ from another Quad 1 win on the road at TCU. That’ll help the cause for sure. I wrote this earlier in the week about opportunities presenting themselves down the stretch against the Big 12. https://t.co/bWCrlfibyS
