WATCH: Texas coach Vic Schaefer hopes to see ten thousand fans for senior night

Vic Schaefer is calling for more fans to support his team.

Texas women’s basketball coach Vic Schaefer has been very adamant about improving fan attendance at games. Saturday’s matchup against Oklahoma State will be the final regular-season game of the year as well as senior night for the Horns.

Schaefer made a deal with the Longhorn community that he will donate $10,000 to the Neighborhood Longhorns Progam if at least 10,000 fans attend Saturday’s game.

The Longhorns are having a fanatic season with a record of 22-6, ranked No. 9 in the nation. Schaefer believes his squad deserves more dedication from the fan base. Texas ranks outside the top 30 in overall attendance.

Saturday’s game will also be the last regular season basketball game at the Frank Erwin Center. Both the men’s and women’s basketball programs will move over to the new Moody Center for the 2022-23 season.

Texas basketball sets record for season ticket sales

Texas basketball breaks season ticket record ahead of the 2021-22 season. Chris Beard is building something special.

This buzz around the Texas basketball program this year is real.

First-year head coach Chris Beard was the shot in the arm the Texas fan base needed. Just days before the season opener, the program is already reaching new heights.

The previous all-time season ticket record was just below 9,000 seats. On Nov. 5, Texas basketball surpassed that mark, announcing they sold the most season tickets in program history for the 2021-22 season.

It has been a rough stretch for Texas basketball, to say the least. With not having an NCAA tournament win since 2014, Texas fans are desperate for a winner.

Beard set a promise that his squad would be competitive from day one. To do so, he brought in one of the top transfer classes in the country. It includes five double-digit scorers from a year ago.

  • G Marcus Carr, Minnesota, 19.4 ppg
  • F Tre Mitchell, UMass, 18.8 ppg
  • G/F Timmy Allen, Utah, 17.2 ppg
  • F Dylan Disu, Vanderbilt, 15.0 ppg
  • F Christan Bishop, Creighton, 11.0 ppg

Along with key returners Andrew Jones, Courtney Ramey, Jase Febres and Brock Cunningham, this team has a great mix of talent and veteran leadership.

Texas will begin their season at home on Nov. 9 against Houston Baptist. It is the final year the Horns will play at the Erwin Center before moving into the brand new Moody Center next season.
