It’s been a remarkable season for the Longhorns, but it’s still nowhere close to the best in program history. That distinction belongs to the 1985–86 Longhorns, who became the first women’s team to finish the season as undefeated national champions.

The manhandling of Missouri was the first of five wins for Texas in the 1986 NCAA tournament. With a 97-81 win over USC on March 30, Texas secured its first national championship. Texas also became the NCAA's first undefeated champion in women's basketball.
