The Texas women’s basketball team bounced back after last week’s loss against then-No. 21 West Virginia on Wednesday night with a convincing 64-53 win over Oklahoma State.

You can’t overstate how important the hiring of Steve Sarkisian will be to the future of Texas Longhorns football and the overall athletic program.
Obviously, it’s a big decision. You could argue every head coaching move is a “big” decision, but
especially one that involves a program that hasn’t won a conference championship in over a decade while simultaneously only reaching 10-wins during a season once.
It’s not important just because of the lack of success that has befuddled the Texas football program nor because Sarkisian has won the national championship twice as an assistant coach, but because of Chris Del Conte.

The relentless Texas women’s basketball defense propelled the Longhorns to a 69-58 victory over rival Oklahoma Wednesday night, a much-needed road victory.
The Longhorns’ previous road trouble reared its head in the second quarter. However, Texas exerted a huge advantage over Oklahoma on the glass, grabbing 42 rebounds compared to just 19 from the Sooners. An emphasis on restricting the three-point shot allowed Texas to escape Norman with a win despite a tough offensive night.
Junior forward Audrey Warren, who suited up for the first time in three games after working through concussion protocols, said the Longhorns understood what this contest meant.
Despite an empty Frank Erwin Center, Texas women’s basketball still makes it hard for opponents to win at home the Longhorns are now 10-1 in Austin with Saturday’s 72-53 victory over Texas Tech.
