Five other Big 12 teams join the Cowboys in the poll: No. 2 Baylor, No. 8 Texas Tech, No. 12 Oklahoma, No. 13 Texas and No. 14 West Virginia.

This is the highest the Cowboys have been in the Coaches Poll since they were ranked 19th on Feb. 3, 2014, Marcus Smart’s sophomore season. The Cowboys got as high as No. 6 in the Coaches Poll that season.
