TEXAS SOUTHERN TIGERS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Southwestern Athletic Conf.D1-FCSwinter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Located in Houston's Fourth Ward since 1927, Texas Southern brings women's basketball to the SWAC with a 9-16 record through the 2023-24 season. Head coach Vernette Skeete manages a 13-player roster that has found more stability at home, compiling a 6-5 record in H&PE Arena while struggling on the road at 3-11. The Tigers' conference record of 3-5 reflects competitive positioning within the Southwestern Athletic Conference, though their 65.9 points per game trails opponents' 72.6, indicating a need for offensive efficiency improvements.

Texas Southern's home-court advantage proves significant, with the tigers winning 55 percent of matches at H&PE Arena compared to just 27 percent away from Houston. Skeete's defensive approach allows 72.6 points nightly, suggesting the program focuses defensive attention rather than offensive firepower generation. With 7,366 students across the university system and a roster of just 13 athletes, Texas Southern maintains a lean team structure that demands deep roster contributions throughout conference play and non-conference matchups.
