Texas WBB 2024-2025 Season

The New York Times has an interesting article today, two WBB analysts trying to decide what the seedings are going to be. According to them, either UConn or UT will get the final #1 seed, and the other will be the top #2 seed. If I understand it right, either way, if both teams get that far (a major if), it would be Texas and UConn in the final game of the Elite Eight to decide who goes to the Final Four.

Interesting how the pundits are putting UConn and Texas as the final one seed when both those teams net rankings are higher than USC. UConn net is #1, Texas is 3, and USC is 6th. Personally, I think USC should be the first second seed.

Former head coach’s commitment cultivated fanbase, paved program’s way to success

When Texas Athletics hired Jody Conradt in 1976, the headline of a Texas newspaper that announced her position read, “Woman Earns Man-Sized Salary – $19,000.” She spent over 30 years proving she was the right person for the job. Even though the former head coach retired 18 years ago, Conradt’s...

Nice piece. Doesn't seem like it has been 18 years since she retired. I started going to her games the first year she was here, 1976 I believe, in Greg Gym. She grew up two houses down from me, so there was the hometown connection. I watched her play basketball on the Goldthwaite High School team (40 points a game), though I have to stretch back in my memory. I was in the first grade when she was a senior. So many good memories.
