Sarah Graves began her career at Texas as a walk-on. She'll end it as a cult hero at the Final Four
Sarah Graves, with a 1.1 career scoring average, hit a key two-pointer in Texas' 77-41 win to help the team reach the Final Four for the second consecutive season.
- On Monday, senior walk-on Sarah Graves hit a long two-pointer in Texas' 77-41 Elite Eight victory over Michigan, propelling the Longhorns to the Final Four for a second straight season.
- The Keller, Texas native joined the program in 2020, earning a scholarship in 2023 after playing just one minute as a freshman and nine as a sophomore before her role expanded.
- Chanting "Put in Sarah" as the lead ballooned, the Dickies Arena crowd erupted when Graves' shot arced over Michigan's Olivia Olson and through the net, a moment she called a "surreal feeling" she will never forget.
- Texas head coach Vic Schaefer knelt as the ball fell, praising Graves for knowing the playbook and performing the "little things" teammates often overlook during the season.
- With her college career nearing its end, Schaefer hopes to secure an additional year of eligibility for the veteran, arguing her limited freshman appearances should not impact her remaining status.
