The University of Texas’ Women’s Basketball team came closer to being national champions this year than almost ever before. And among the millions of fans who watched the pennant chase was one Austinite who was simultaneously digging into the program’s very beginnings.

Journalist and newly-minted PhD Jessica Luther joins host Nikki DaVaughn to dive into how the team’s past is still impacting its performance.
