Longhorns women's basketball releases SEC schedule
Longhorns women's basketball releases SEC schedule Longhorns women's basketball reveals SEC slate
With the women's college basketball season quickly approaching, expectations are high for the Texas Longhorns. After making it to the Final Four last season, they are in a great position to build on their success. Earlier this week, they were able to start planning for the season when their conference schedule was revealed.
During the 2025-2026 campaign, Auburn, Georgia, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and LSU will all take a trip to Moody Center. The Longhorns will play eight games on the road and eight at home against SEC teams. This is the 17th season of the 16-game schedule for women's basketball.
For the Longhorns, their home court has been where they thrived. Last season, Texas went 17-0 at home. At the Mooddy Center, Longhorns women's basketball has posted a 49-5 record. With a roster full of stars, that record should continue to improve.
While the Longhorns have plenty to look forward to at home, they also have an exciting away conference schedule. They will go on the road to face LSU, Florida, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Arkansas. That should be a good test for a team that has national championship aspirations.
The regular season will wrap up with the 2026 SEC Women's Basketball Tournament at Bon Secours Wellness Arena. It is set to include all 16 teams and begin on March 4. On March 8, a new champion will be crowned, and the Longhorns hope it is them.
When the regular season begins, Texas will be led by Madison Booker and Rori Harmon. If they can once again make the most of their conference schedule, then they will have a memorable 2025-2026 campaign.

LSU football's top commit cancels visit with Tigers' SEC rival
LSU football's top commit cancels visit with Tigers' SEC rival LSU's five-star wide receiver commit Tristen Keys will not take an official visit to Alabama this week as originally scheduled, per On3's Chad Simmons. The 2026 prospect goes to Baton Rouge this weekend. He recently made official visits to Texas A&M, Tennessee, and Miami as he keeps his options open. Keys committed to LSU in March. Keys is the highest-ranked commit in the Tigers' class, which ranks first in the SEC and second nationally for the 2026 cycle. The Hattiesburg, MS native ranks as the top prospect out of his home state and at his position, according to On3's Industry Rankings. He is No.5 overall. Ole Miss, Tennessee, and USC also remain in the race for Keys, one of the top recruits in the region. LSU remains in a good place as it prepares to host him for a final time. Head coach Brian Kelly's staff will certainly make a push for Keys to shut down his recruitment. LSU football's 2026 recruiting class currently ranks No. 2 in the nation, only trailing USC. The Tigers have nine commits, including two five stars.

Mack Brown reflects on Texas tenure: ‘We Got Tired' after 16 years leading Longhorns
Mack Brown reflects on Texas tenure: 'We Got Tired' after 16 years leading Longhorns Brown described the period as 'a long time at a place like Texas.' With Mack Brown officially entering retirement, presumably for good this time, he's embracing a new chapter as an analyst and podcast guest, reflecting openly on the highs and lows of his storied career. The 73-year-old has appeared on several podcasts and shows since announcing his retirement from coaching earlier this year. In a recent episode of the "See Ball Get Ball" podcast with former ESPN analyst David Pollack, Brown shared candid insights about his time at Texas and the burnout he experienced before leaving the Longhorns in 2013. 'We got tired at Texas. Sixteen years is a long time at a place like Texas,' Brown said. 'Sally [his wife] always said it's four presidential terms. So that's a long time to be at the University of Texas, so it was probably time for me to leave there and for them to get somebody else new, because you get worn down.' After departing Texas, Brown transitioned to television, working as an analyst for ESPN and ABC. He quickly found comfort in his new role, traveling for games and studio shows. 'I was with you, with TV, and I really liked it,' Brown told Pollack. 'I enjoyed having a team again. I loved, I was probably crazy, I would go Friday night and do a game or Thursday night, and then get up at 4 in the morning, fly to Bristol, do ABC Countdown to Kickoff all day, then do SportsCenter on Sunday morning before we'd come home. But I loved that.' Brown emphasized his enduring passion for football and the relationships the sport fostered. 'I loved the game. I loved the coaches. I loved the kids that played the game. And that's really, really important to me, and it's what I want to continue to do, stay involved,' he said. Despite enjoying his time in broadcasting, Brown realized he wasn't ready to leave coaching behind for good. When North Carolina called in 2018, the decision to return was natural for Brown and his family, who have deep ties to Chapel Hill. 'Sally and I thought we'll only go to a place where we would want to live and we would only go back to a place where we thought we could win within the rules. And North Carolina, we got married there, our kids grew up there. They went to school at North Carolina, some of them. So it was a natural when they called us and asked us to come back,' Brown said. Brown saw the Tar Heels' struggling program as an opportunity to make a difference. 'I like fixing things, and the program was in a mess,' he said. 'They'd won three games two years before. They'd won two games the year before. Nobody was coming to the games. It was really sad to sit there at ESPN and even watch. … You get into coaching because you can change lives. And that's what's so important. And people forget that.' Brown's return to North Carolina revitalized the program, leading the Tar Heels to multiple bowl games and national relevance. Now, as he settles into his analyst role once more, Brown remains committed to staying close to the game, though he is uncertain what the future holds. 'I want to continue to be involved,' he said. 'That's what's really important to me.' With Texas's history of welcoming back legends in advisory roles — like Gary Patterson and Vince Young — speculation has swirled about a possible return for Brown in a special assistant or ambassador capacity. Brown previously held such a role at Texas after stepping down as head coach in 2013, serving as a trusted voice and ambassador for the Longhorns. A return could benefit both parties: Texas would gain a respected figure to connect with alumni and boosters, while Brown could stay involved with the sport he loves, minus the grind of coaching. At 73, it could be the perfect way for Brown to remain part of Longhorn Nation and be apart of the program's future. Follow us on X/Twitter at @LonghornsWire.
