Texas WBB 2024-2025 Season

The New York Times has an interesting article today, two WBB analysts trying to decide what the seedings are going to be. According to them, either UConn or UT will get the final #1 seed, and the other will be the top #2 seed. If I understand it right, either way, if both teams get that far (a major if), it would be Texas and UConn in the final game of the Elite Eight to decide who goes to the Final Four.

Interesting how the pundits are putting UConn and Texas as the final one seed when both those teams net rankings are higher than USC. UConn net is #1, Texas is 3, and USC is 6th. Personally, I think USC should be the first second seed.

Agreed! The only problem with that is that they would make us go West. I don't feel like we've necessarily played like a Top 4 team in the country over the last couple of weeks, but our resume speaks for itself. I'm concerned that the "eye test" may work against us when it really shouldn't.

True, my perception was that the selection committee bases their seeds on a team’s entire season’s body of work, not the past few weeks. If not, then what’s the point of winning early games? Save the legs for the conference tournament.

Former head coach’s commitment cultivated fanbase, paved program’s way to success

When Texas Athletics hired Jody Conradt in 1976, the headline of a Texas newspaper that announced her position read, “Woman Earns Man-Sized Salary – $19,000.” She spent over 30 years proving she was the right person for the job. Even though the former head coach retired 18 years ago, Conradt’s...

Nice piece. Doesn't seem like it has been 18 years since she retired. I started going to her games the first year she was here, 1976 I believe, in Greg Gym. She grew up two houses down from me, so there was the hometown connection. I watched her play basketball on the Goldthwaite High School team (40 points a game), though I have to stretch back in my memory. I was in the first grade when she was a senior. So many good memories.
 
Poor Karen Aston and UTSA. Regular season champs of the AAC, only to stumble in their conference tournament and shut out of NCAA. 26-4, but with a NET of 71.
 
I thought, if we and they make it that far, we would meet UConn in the Elite Eight. I would much rather play TCU, although Carolyn Peck did make them sound scary.
 
Ok guys I readily admit defeat trying to figure out the schedule. I bought the prelim tickets offer for the ladies which say round 1 on the 20th and round 2 on the 22nd. But it looks to me like the Ladies do not play till the 22nd. Is this just luck of the draw and I’m out for their 2nd game? Anyone with experience at this help me here?
 
Surprised nobody created a new thread for the bracket / post-season discussion.

Our region is better than I thought it would be as I wanted to avoid UConn and the greatest women's hoops coach ever.

You’re ok. When we signed up for tickets, the exact dates were unknown because the brackets had not been announced. Texas plays on Sat the 22nd and (we hope and expect) on Monday the 24th.
 
Anyone remember when we all thought Asjia O'Neal was leaving then low and behold she didn't. Maybe either Rori or A Mo surprises us and return
Probably just wishful thinking on my part...
