The State of the State: Women's Basketball in Texas
After just two Texas teams made the NCAA Tournament, what's next for the state?
The 2022-23 season was a strange one for women's basketball in Texas, at least at the Division I level. Just two teams made it into the tournament, though seven made a WNIT appearance. And of the two teams that made it to the main postseason tourney—Baylor and Texas—neither made it to the second weekend.
That's a rarity in this state. Prior to this year, the last time the state of Texas didn't have a Sweet 16 team was 2007. Before that, it was 1998. This was, by all accounts, a down year in the state.
