Texas Longhorns Set to Host TCU Horned Frogs at Moody Center in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the Texas Longhorns prepare to welcome the TCU Horned Frogs to the Moody Center in Austin, fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be an engaging encounter.

In their last game against Texas Tech's Lady Raiders, the Longhorns secured an 80-point victory with a notable 43 percent field goal percentage and an impressive 78 percent from the free-throw line. Their ability to convert opportunities into points was evident as they capitalized on turnovers and second-chance points, scoring 18 and 23 respectively. Moreover, their defensive efforts were not left unnoticed as they managed nine steals and two blocks.


The previous game saw them edge out Kansas' Jayhawks by three points in a tightly contested match where they shot at a similar field goal percentage of 42 percent but struggled slightly from the free-throw line with only half of their attempts successful. Nevertheless, their defense was formidable with nine blocks and fourteen steals contributing significantly to this narrow victory.


Even when playing away against West Virginia's Mountaineers, Texas maintained consistency in shooting (43 percent field goals) while also showcasing resilience on defense with ten steals. They dominated rebounds with forty-five collected overall which included fourteen offensive rebounds leading to seventeen second-chance points.


The upcoming game at Moody Center could play into Texas' hands as they seem comfortable within these walls; however, it will be crucial for them not only to maintain these statistical trends but also improve upon them if they wish to overcome TCU Horned Frogs.


Fans can catch all the action live on LHN or attend in person at Moody Center this Saturday night at 22:00 local time. With both teams looking to assert themselves in conference play, it’s sure not one you want to miss!
