Texas overcame a slew of injuries to win its first regular-season championship since 2004. And the reigning Big 12 women’s tournament champs believe there’s still room for improvement.
Texas guard Rori Harmon disputes a referee call during an NCAA college basketball game against Baylor in Austin, Texas, Monday, Feb. 27, 2023. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Texas point guard Rori Harmon began the season sidelined by a foot injury. Kyndall Hunter, Harmon’s All-American co-star at Houston Cypress Creek, has been away from the team all season. Rising forward Aaliyah Moore’s sophomore campaign ended Dec. 11 with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Texas won its first Big 12 title since 2004, finishing as co-champion with Oklahoma. It landed the top seed in this week’s Big 12 women’s tournament at Municipal Auditorium. It’s 11th in the NCAA’s NET rankings, primed to earn a top-four seed and host first-and-second round games back home at the Moody Center.
“I don’t think we can sit here today going into the Big 12 tournament and say, ‘Yeah, we’re playing our best basketball and we’re rolling,’” Schaefer said. “We still have the Big 12 tournament to navigate. And whoever we get that first night, it’ll be two teams that want to beat the crap outta Texas. That’s just the way it is. My job is to manage this team, try to keep some momentum of how we’re playing and at the same time try to get better.
