Overview
- After a February loss to Vanderbilt, coach Vic Schaefer said Texas had "no heart" and was his "softest team in years."
- Players met right away to address habits, with Rori Harmon pushing an open talk and a vow to build a sisterhood.
- Practices grew sharper and louder, as Madison Booker took a bigger vocal role and the team tightened daily standards.
- Texas has won 12 straight, took the SEC tournament title over South Carolina, and advanced to a second straight Final Four.
- Schaefer says the rant was not planned and later clarified his support, a contrast to other recent coach call-outs that led to losses or firings at Tennessee and Kansas State.
