That’s as far as Karen Aston could get to a Final Four in the Longhorns’ home state after Texas Women’s Basketball was knocked out of the NCAA Tournament in the Sweet 16. And that’s just added more fuel to the fire.
Coach Aston’s fire was lit before this season even began. The progression was there from not the NCAA Tournament Second Round to the Sweet 16 to the Elite 8 last year. So, the natural next step was the Final Four this year.
Instead, Texas took one step back when they could not overcome Stanford in the Lexington Regional.
