Texas women beat Fairleigh Dickinson to open season, but clearly are a work in progress
Five of Texas' seven best players from a Women's Final Four team departed, so this year's Longhorns have room to grow. But Vic Schaefer is confident they'll get there.
Texas women's basketball team made a strong start to the season with an 85-65 victory over Fairleigh Dickinson, despite the departure of several key players. Madison Booker, the team's go-to scorer, led the way with 24 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and five steals. The Longhorns struggled defensively, allowing Fairleigh Dickinson to hit 20 three-pointers, which frustrated head coach Vic Schaefer.
With five freshmen and three McDonald's All-Americans, the team showed promise but still had much to learn, as Schaefer acknowledged the need to improve rapidly.
