Moody Center Showdown: Texas Longhorns to Face TCU Horned Frogs in Women's Basketball

As the Texas Longhorns prepare to host the TCU Horned Frogs at the Moody Center, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Longhorns, coming off a decisive 80-71 victory against the Lady Raiders on February 9th, have shown that they can maintain a strong offensive presence throughout all four quarters.

The previous game saw the Longhorns excel in several key areas. They outrebounded their opponents by a significant margin, pulling down 36 rebounds compared to just 23 by the Lady Raiders. Their free-throw accuracy was also impressive at 78 percent, which could prove crucial in tight situations against TCU. Moreover, their ability to convert turnovers into points was notable as they scored 18 points off turnovers.


On defense, TEX showed resilience and an ability to disrupt plays with nine steals matching those of TTU. However, one area where they will need improvement is their personal fouls count; accumulating 27 fouls could give TCU opportunities at the line if not addressed.


The Horned Frogs should not be underestimated though. They will come into this game looking for an upset and have strengths of their own that could pose challenges for TEX. In particular, TCU's three-point shooting percentage stands out; if they get hot from beyond the arc it could spell trouble for Texas.


However, given recent performances and home-court advantage at Moody Center – where fan support has been nothing short of phenomenal – it seems likely that TEX will carry forward their momentum and secure another win for their record.


Fans should expect players like Celeste Taylor and Charli Collier to continue making significant impacts on both ends of the court as they did in previous games with high scoring and rebounding numbers respectively.


Looking ahead with confidence but without complacency is key for TEX as they aim to cement themselves as one of the top contenders this season.


Mark your calendars! The action unfolds on February 11th at 5:00 PM CST at Moody Center in Austin. Fans can catch every dribble and basket live on LHN channel number 677.
