The Texas women's basketball program enters the new season ranked sixth nationally behind fourth-year All-American Madison Booker, according to coverage from Fox Sports and Fox News. Following back-to-back Final Four appearances, head coach Vic Schaefer's squad is aiming for the school's first national championship since 1986, opening play against Fairleigh Dickinson.
Both outlets report that the Longhorns must adapt after several prominent departures through the transfer portal. Jordan Lee departed for South Carolina, Aaliyah Crump moved to Duke, and Justice Carlton transferred to Houston. In addition, longtime starting point guard Rori Harmon turned professional after being selected by the WNBA's Washington Mystics, prompting Texas to rely more heavily on point guard Bryanna Preston.
Booker begins the season just 31 points away from becoming the fourth player in school history to reach 2,000 career points, according to both reports. After struggling offensively in a 51-44 national semifinal loss to UCLA, Booker returns to lead a reconfigured lineup contending with top-ranked South Carolina in the Southeastern Conference.
