Texas defeated the Lady Demons 74-34 last season.
LONGHORNS UPDATE
Brooke McCarty scored a career-high 22 points as Texas opened its season Saturday with a 90-53 victory over UTSA. Texas will have a big size advantage with 6-7 Imani Boyette and 6-5 Kelsey Lang guarding the rim against a team that does not have a starter over 5-11. Roughly 5,000 students from fourth through seventh grades will be in attendance to cheer on the Longhorns in the fifth annual 40 Acres Field Trip…. Senior guard Brady Sanders, who graduates next month with a degree in public relations and a minor in business, had a 4.0 GPA in the spring semester…. Texas has won 59 straight home games against unranked teams.
