Vandals fall to No. 23 Texas 73-48
The University of Idaho women’s basketball team traveled down to Austin, Texas suffering their first loss of the season 73-48. The Vandals (2-1, 2-0 Big Sky) fell to the No. 23 Texas Longhorns (4-1, 0-0 Big 12) Wednesday afternoon.
The game started with a tie at 5-5 in the first quarter, but the Longhorns would run away with the game after that with multiple scoring runs that helped increase their lead throughout the game. The Longhorns defense and three-point shooting were a factor after the first half as they led the Vandals 46-14 at the break. Idaho struggled offensively to get anything going but would change that going into the second half, but it wasn’t enough to stop Texas.
