Texas guard Shaylee Gonzales, right, celebrates a score against Drexel during the second half of a first-round college basketball game in the women's NCAA Tournament in Austin, Texas, Friday, March 22, 2024. – Shaylee Gonzales scored 21 points, Taylor Jones added 18 and No. 1 seed Texas beat No. 16 Drexel 82-42 on Friday in the first round of the women’s NCAA Tournament.
“I don't think I've every seen that type of size,” Drexel guard Grace O'Neill said. “Definitely a challenge. They did a great job on the boards.” “I was wide open,” Gonzales said. “They didn't guard the wing very well. Obviously, we pass it inside, they collapse and double on the post players and then the guards are open on the outside.”
Gaston said she barely slept Thursday night. She missed the team's morning shoot-around to visit a doctor who said she did not have a fever and wasn't contagious.Coach Vic Schaefer said he was proud of Gaston, a senior who has long been one of his favorite players.
