Volleyball tops 2020 Big 12 preseason poll

AUSTIN, Texas -- For the 13th time in program history and the ninth consecutive year, the Texas Longhorns were voted the favorite in the Big 12 for the upcoming 2020 season. The preseason poll is determined by league head coaches, who are not permitted to vote for their own team.

Since 2011, Texas has lost a total of eight conference matches for a record of 136-8 (.944), which included two perfect records of 16-0 (2013 & 2017).

As a team, Texas hit .325 on the season, leading the nation. The mark also sits tied for fourth best in Longhorn history, tying a mark hit in 2012.
