"PLZ PLZ PLZ dont go off reciting what your team did in 1972, we only care about recent events."
What? -_-.
I'm talking about current events, I don't even know the histories of those schools, just current events. -_-.
Btw, before TJ Ford came along, they weren't really that good.
And they weren't always ranked high:

"AUSTIN, Texas -- The University of Texas men's basketball team has been ranked No. 5 in the ESPN/USA Today Preseason Top 25 Coaches poll, it was released today. The Longhorns are one of four Big 12 Conference teams selected in the Top 25, joining Kansas (2), Oklahoma (3) and Missouri (18). This marks the third time in the last four seasons that Texas has been ranked in the coaches' preseason poll, as UT was tabbed No. 22 in 1999-2000 and No. 22 in 2001-02.
The No. 5 ranking marks the highest spot in the coaches poll in UT history. The Longhorns reached the No. 11 position on Nov. 28, 1999, and on Dec. 2, 1996. It also obviously marks the highest preseason ranking in the coaches poll in UT history. Texas was tabbed No. 15 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll prior to the 1996-97 campaign.
The No. 5 ranking also is tied for the highest ranking in any poll in school history. Following a 14-0 start to the season, the Longhorns reached the No. 5 position in The Associated Press poll on Jan. 26, 1982. It also marks the highest preseason ranking in any poll in UT history. Texas was tabbed No. 6 in The Associated Press poll prior to the 1978-79 campaign, following UT's NIT Championship run in 1977-78."
Btw, I'm not trying to be biased, I like Maryland, but I'm open to what you have to say.
