With the start of the regular season around the corner, the Texas women's basketball team will participate in a high-profile exhibition game.
On Monday, Texas will play an exhibition game against UConn. This exhibition game - which UT coach Vic Schaefer said was scheduled as an NIL benefit for the players of both programs - will feature two of college basketball's top powerhouses. Texas and UConn have both been a Final Four qualifier in each of the past two seasons, and UConn won a national championship in 2025.
This will be the first meeting between the two schools since Texas recorded an 80-68 win Dec. 3, 2023 over UConn in Austin.
