The Texas Longhorns women's basketball team represents The University of Texas at Austin and competes in the Big 12 Conference.

The team has long been a national power in women's basketball. Under head coach Jody Conradt, the second NCAA Division I basketball coach to win 900 career games (after Tennessee's Pat Summitt), the Longhorns won the 1986 national championship. Conradt retired after the 2006-07 season, and was replaced by Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors.

Since 1977, Texas women's basketball has played its home games in the Frank Erwin Special Events Center, where the team has compiled a 399-76 (.840) record as of March 5, 2008.

History

The University of Texas began varsity intercollegiate competition in women's basketball in 1974. The Longhorns rank fifth in both total victories and all-time win percentage among all NCAA Division I women's college basketball programs, with an all-time win-loss record of 843-275 (.754).^[1]^[2]

The Longhorns have won 22 total conference championships (12 regular-season conference titles and 10 conference tournament titles) in women's basketball and have made 22 total appearances in the NCAA Tournament (32-21 overall record), reaching the NCAA Final Four three times (1986, 1987, 2003) and the NCAA Regional Finals (Elite Eight) eight times. Texas won the 1986 NCAA Championship to finish the 1985-86 season with a win-loss record of 34-0. As of April 2007, Texas ranks eleventh with Virginia for all-time NCAA Tournament victories (32), trailing Tennessee (104), Connecticut (65), Louisiana Tech (65), Stanford (52), Georgia (48), Duke (39), North Carolina (38), Purdue (38), Old Dominion (34), and Vanderbilt (34).^[1]^[2]
