- Season Openers: Texas is 34-11 [.756] all-time in season openers. Under head coach Karen Aston, the Longhorns are 6-1 in season lid-lifters. Texas last opened its season on the road in 2016-17 when the Longhorns traveled to Palo Alto, Calif., to face Stanford.
- About the Longhorns: Texas is coming off a 2018-19 season in which it posted a 23-10 overall record and a 12-6 mark in Big 12 Conference play. The Longhorns advanced to their sixth consecutive NCAA Tournament, falling to Indiana [65-69] in the first round. Texas is averaging an impressive 25.5 wins per season over the past six years and has recorded at least 22 wins per season in each of the last six years.
- About the Bulls: USF is 1-0 on the year after earning a season-opening 70-39 victory against Jacksonville on Tuesday evening. The Bulls were 19-16 a year ago in an injury-plagued season and they advanced to the second round of the WNIT.
- Longhorns Picked To Finish Second in Big 12: Texas was picked to finish second in the Big 12 Conference this season, according to a poll of the league's 10 head coaches.
