The breakthrough will have to wait.
Vic Schaefer dropped to 0-8 against Dawn Staley in the postseason with a third NCAA Tournament loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks in the Final Four on Friday in Tampa as the Texas Longhorns got off to a fast start but quickly fizzled, especially in the decisive 20-9 third quarter of the 74-57 loss.
South Carolina raced out to a 7-2 start out of halftime to open up an eight-point lead from which Texas could not recover thanks to Schaefer’s offensive approach as the last-place team in Division 1 women’s basketball in three-point rate.
