FORT WORTH — When Texas women’s basketball coach Vic Schaefer watches Michigan, he sees a team just like his own. He might be the only one.
Most fans—and Vegas oddsmakers—expect a long and winding women’s college basketball season to end right where it began. Preseason No. 1 UConn and No. 3 UCLA are returning to the Final Four. Preseason No. 2 South Carolina and No. 4 Texas can join them Monday. Those four teams are considered a cut above everyone else. But preseason No. 13 Michigan thinks it can break the chalk.
