AUSTIN, Texas — Lashann Higgs aspires to fill a critical role for the Texas Longhorns — defensive stopper. Higgs scored 18 points and No. Against Stetson, Higgs converted 7 of 9 shots from the field and 4 of 5 free throws to finish one point shy of her career best in only 18 minutes on the court. “We saw a transformation over the summer.”Senior Brooke McCarty, the Big 12 player of the year last season, scored 14 for Texas. That’s the most the Longhorns scored in any quarter since the NCAA switched from two halves to four quarters for women’s basketball before the 2015-16 season.
