Plus: Texas softball opens strong at home
Texas Longhorns women’s basketball is officially No. 2 in the latest AP Poll.
From Sports Illustrated: “The Longhorns received eight first-place votes, but the Notre Dame Fighting Irish edged past Texas with 16, and the head-to-head win. The No. 2 ranking is the highest the Longhorns have held since Dec. 4, 2017. With USC beating UCLA, there are no undefeated teams left and the Bruins fell from the No. 1 spot to No. 3.”
