This will be the Longhorns' first season at the newly constructed Moody Center.[1] Previously, Texas played at the Frank Erwin Center. This will be the first time the Longhorns have a new arena since 1977 when Texas moved from the Gregory Gymnasium to the Frank Erwin Center.[2]

Previous season

edit

Regular season

edit

Coming into the season, Texas had a lot of momentum going into the 2021–22 season after their Elite 8 appearance in the NCAA tournament the previous season.[3] However, Texas lost star player Charli Collier to the WNBA draft, as she was the first overall pick by the Dallas Wings.[4] With the addition of 2 5-star athletes in Rori Harmon and Aaliyah Moore and 2 4-star athletes in Latasha Lattimore and Kyndall Hunter, the momentum was still high.[5] Texas finished the 2021-22 regular season 23–6, 13–5 in Big 12 play.[6] The Longhorns finished 3rd in the Big 12 behind Iowa State and Baylor.[7] 5-star recruit Rori Harmon emerged as a top freshman as she earned many accolades such as 4-time Big 12 Freshman of the Week, All-Big 12 Second Team, Big 12 All-Defensive Team, Big 12 All-Freshman Team, Big 12 Freshman of the Year, and Big 12 tournament Most Outstanding Player.[8][9] Harmon also was the first freshman in Texas women’s basketball history to earn All-American Honors. The combination of younger talent with freshmen Rori Harmon and Aaliyah Moore, plus sophomore DeYona Gaston, with the older talent of seniors Joanne Allen-Taylor, Lauren Ebo, Audrey Warren, and junior three point leader Aliyah Matharu, Texas had their most success since the 2017-18 season where the Longhorns went 24–5 during the regular season.[10][11]

Big 12 tournament

edit

Texas earned a 3-seed in the 2022 Big 12 Conference women's basketball tournament where they would square off against 6-seed Kansas State. Texas would go on to defeat Kansas State 72–65 to advance to the second round.[12] In the second round, the Longhorns faced off against Iowa State. Coming into the game, Texas had swept the Cyclones during the regular season.[13][14] Texas would go on to win 82–73 in overtime behind Rori Harmon’s 30-point career high performance, advancing them to the championship game against Baylor.[15]Coming into the game, Texas was riding a 13 game losing streak to Baylor, having not defeated the Bears since the 2016-17 season.[16] The Longhorns would go on to snap the losing streak defeating Baylor 67–58 in the championship game.[17]

Texas defeated the Utes 78–56 sending them to the sweet 16 to match up with Ohio State.[19] Against the Buckeyes, Texas won 66–63 advance Texas to their second consecutive elite 8.[20] In the elite 8, the Longhorns faced Stanford, who they beat earlier in the regular season. However, Stanford prevailed against Texas, winning the game 59–50.[21]
