Texas men's basketball earned the No. 7 spot in the SEC's Preseason Poll, per a media release Monday. Texas, ranked No. 19 nationwide in the AP Poll, had an up-and-down 2023-24 season before falling to Tennessee in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

With the college basketball season just around the corner, the Associated Press released its top 25 poll, and the Longhorns made the cut. Heading into the 2024-2025 campaign, Texas is ranked as the 19th-best team in the country. After finishing last season with a 21-13 record, they will look to build on their success in a competitive conference.
