By Mizzou Hoops Feb 15, 2011, 9:45am CST

For as many interesting finishes as there were, not much movement this week.

1. Texas Longhorns

Overall Record: 22-3
Last Week's Record: 2-0
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 1 - No Movement
What Matt Says: The Longhorns are now boast a secure lead over Kansas for the Big 12 with a very winnable schedule ahead. Think most likely slip-up is at Baylor.

2. Kansas Jayhawks

Overall Record: 24-2
Last Week's Record: 1-1
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 2 - No Movement
What Matt Says: Kansas got blown out of the building by K-State. Bad body language, cheap-shot fouls, and poor execution on both ends highlighted the loss. Should be a wake-up call for a team that was coasting.

T3. Baylor Bears

Overall Record: 16-8
Last Week's Record: 1-1
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 3 - No Movement
What Matt Says: The Bears need to start running their offense with Perry Jones III as an equally valuable target as LaceDarius Dunn. Jones is special.

T3. Missouri Tigers

Overall Record: 19-6
Last Week's Record: 1-0
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 4 - Up one spot
What Evan Says: Mizzou enters the easiest stretch of their Big 12 season. And we should see a road win in the mix.

5. Texas A&M Aggies

Overall Record: 19-5
Last Week's Record: 2-0
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 5 - No movement
What Evan Says: Barely beat CU. Barely beat Tech. I am selling A&M right now..

6. Kansas St. Wildcats

Last Week's Record: 1-1
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 6 - No Movement

Overall Record: 16-10
Last Week's Record: 1-1
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 7 - No Movement
