(AP) --  Texas had passed every test on the way to
its first No. 1 ranking - until Monday night.
 

The Longhorns beat North Carolina at Cowboys Stadium, Michigan
State in Austin, and pulled out a tougher-than-expected road win
against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. It was a tough first week as the
nation's top-ranked team against Iowa State and Texas A&M, but
Texas still won both.
 

The game represented the Longhorns' toughest task so far:
on the road in a juiced arena against a top 10 team.
 Texas didn't seem ready for it.
 

Uncharacteristically frazzled, Texas struggled against Kansas
State's pressure and fell from the ranks of the unbeaten, losing to
10th-ranked Kansas State 71-62. Jamar Samuels scored 15 of his 20
points in a dominating first half.

 Kansas State is 16-and-2 after beating a No. 1 team for the
third time in school history - and first since 1994.
 

Curtis Kelly scored 17 points and freshman Rodney McGruder
chipped in 11 key points for the Wildcats, who used a late 11-1 run
to take control in their record 14th straight win at Bramlage
Coliseum. Texas is 17-and-1.
 

The Longhorns shot just 36 percent. Their loss leaves
second-ranked Kentucky as the lone unbeaten major men's college
basketball team. Kentucky is off until it plays Arka
