UTSA women’s basketball will unveil banners to commemorate the 2024-25 season tonight in a pregame ceremony ahead of a 6:30 game against Texas State.

Two banners will hang from the rafters, one for the team’s regular-season championship in the American Conference and another for the program’s inaugural appearance in the Women’s Basketball Invitational Tournament.

Last season, the Roadrunners forged a 26-5 record to set a school record for victories. In addition, they won the title in the American at 17-1.

Included in the season were other milestones, which includes extending a homecourt winning streak to 16 games. The streak dates back to the end of the 2023-24 season and includes a perfect 13-0 home record last year.

UTSA (0-2) will try to extend the streak tonight when it meets Texas State (0-2) in a continuation of the I-35 rivalry.

The Roadrunners opened last week with road losses at Texas Tech and Houston. Tech routed UTSA 79-52 last Thursday. On Saturday, the Roadrunners played better but came up short at Houston, falling 52-48.

The Bobcats lost their opener on Nov. 3, falling at home to Ohio, 72-66. They played at Texas Tech on Sunday and were blown out, 83-50.
