The Texans (22-3, 13-2) are coming off a pair of home wins against Texas A&M-Kingsville and Angelo State. The Texans have won a Lone Star Conference-best six straight games. The Texans hold a 2.5 game lead for first place in the LSC with three games to go.
This marks the 126th week the Texans have been ranked by the NABC in program history. The Texans have now been ranked in the top 10 75 times.
