OKLAHOMA CITY – Texas coach Jody Conradt became the second Division I coach with 900 career wins, leading the Longhorns to a 70-57 victory over Missouri in the first round of the Big 12 Conference women's tournament Tuesday night.
Conradt is 900-306 in 38 seasons – four at Sam Houston State, three at Texas-Arlington and 31 at Texas. Among Division I coaches – male or female – she trails only Pat Summitt of Tennessee, who has 941 wins entering the NCAA tournament.
After the game, the Longhorns surrounded Conradt in celebration as the milestone was announced over the public-address system at the Cox Convention Center. The Texas pep band followed with a rendition of "The Eyes of Texas."
Freshman Earnesia Williams – playing in her home state – scored 17 points to lead seventh-seeded Texas (18-13) into a quarterfinal contest Wednesday against second-seeded and 11th-ranked Oklahoma, a team with which the Longhorns split a pair of regular-season games.
