Texas is coming after South Carolina in the Southeastern Conference.
The Longhorns burst into the SEC last season by ending the Gamecocks' long league winning streak and earning a share of of the regular-season championship behind player of the year Madison Booker. Texas then stormed to its first Final Four in 22 years, only to get bounced out by South Carolina.
Booker is back for more, and the Longhorns are looking to take that next step by wrestling the league crown from South Carolina.
“I really think we’ve got a chance,” Texas coach Vic Schaefer said. "That’s all we’ve got. We’ve got to go live it and prove it.”
The SEC coaches think they are ready. Texas was the preseason pick by the league coaches to finish first. Ask league media members and it's the reverse, with South Carolina
