Paige Bueckers talks 40-point performance in UConn’s March Madness win
What Paige Bueckers said after scoring 40 points in UConn women’s basketball’s NCAA tournament Sweet 16 win versus Oklahoma.
The Texas women’s basketball team has reached the Elite Eight in four of the past five seasons, yet the Longhorns have not earned a spot in a Final Four since 2003. Is this the year they break the curse? Just one team is standing in their way of that accomplishment, and it’s their interstate foe, the TCU Horned Frogs.
Although Texas has a long history of beating up on TCU, holding an all-time record of 53-4 against the Horned Frogs, TCU is in the midst of arguably its best season ever. It has won a program-best 16 games this year, and that includes solid wins against Louisville and Notre Dame in the NCAA Tournament.
Led by former LSU guard Hailey Van Lith and center Sedona Prince, TCU certainly has a bit more star power for Texas to contend with. Furthermore, given that two No. 1 seeds – UCLA and South Carolina – have already punched their ticket to the Final Four, the pressure is on Texas to keep that streak alive.
