In what’s starting to become an annual tradition under Texas head coach Vic Schaefer, Austin is a host site in the first two rounds of Women’s March Madness for a fourth consecutive season (not including a COVID-related 2021 hosting). The one-seeded Longhorns, led by the SEC Women’s Basketball Player of the Year Madison Booker, hold legitimate national title aspirations after winning the Southeastern Conference regular season championship on debut. Their first-round opponent will be the winner of a First Four matchup between High Point and William & Mary on Thursday. – Derek Udensi
