Both the women and the men will be representing the Texas Longhorns in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, albeit on two very different paths.
The ladies make the tournament as one of the top seeds, hosting the first two rounds in Austin, with a clear shot at the Final Four and beyond. The men will have a longer path, sitting as one of the First Four games of the tournament, needing a win to make the field of 64.
