Texas women’s basketball coach and legend Jody Conradt retired Monday after 31 seasons at Texas. The women’s program has been down a little in recent years and this year the team finished with 18 wins and 14 losses and did not make the NCAA Tournament. Conradt is a Longhorn legend and gave her entire life to the Lady Longhorns and to the University of Texas.

No word of a possible replacement for Conradt but with the history of Texas women’s basketball and a top recruiting class last year, the job will be very attractive to some of the nation’s top coaches.

The Texas Longhorns have a tough road ahead if they plan on making it to the Final Four, possibly having to face #1 North Carolina and #2 Georgetown (who is playing like a #1 seed). Thankfully, though, it looks like they can easily make it to the Sweet 16, as USC is a pretty weak #5 seed.

I was really hoping Texas would somehow end up in the South region and have the opportunity to play in San Antonio, but A&M deservedly got the #3 there.

All-in-all it looks like it will be a great tournament and I felt the overall selection process was pretty fair. We will have more information on the Tourney soon, including our official Bevo Sports brackets.
