San Antonio’s presence at the highest level of women’s college basketball is strong.

Based on research by The JB Replay, at least 28 athletes from San Antonio have turned up on NCAA Division I rosters.

Meanwhile, both San Antonio-based programs will open this week as Incarnate Word plays Tuesday on the road at Tulsa, while UTSA travels to Las Vegas to take on UNLV on Friday night.

Another game of note will take place on Nov. 8 at the Frost Bank Center, the home of the Spurs.

Three former San Antonio high school standouts return to San Antonio when fourth-ranked Duke (with Arianna Roberson and Bella Flemings) play the University of North Texas Mean Green (and Kalysta Martin) on Nov. 8, with tipoff is at 1 p.m.
