Over the past couple of days, Texas women’s basketball was penalized only slightly for last week’s loss at South Carolina.
Texas opened this week by holding onto its No. 4 ranking in the Associated Press poll. On Tuesday, however, Texas slipped one spot to No. 5 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.
Texas (19-2) is looking up at No. 1 UConn (19-0), No. 2 South Carolina (19-1) and No. 3 UCLA (17-1) in both polls. The coaches swapped Texas and Vanderbilt (19-0) in their rankings this week.
Texas is idle until this Sunday’s game at Arkansas (11-9). Texas has won four of its six conference games this season while Arkansas, which also hosts Georgia on Thursday, is 0-5 in SEC play.
