Today is March 18, 2025. And on this date in Texas history, Aaliyah Moore made her NCAA Tournament debut and had a perfect evening from the free throw line.

As Texas opened its 2022 NCAA Tournament run with a 70-52 win over Fairfield, Moore scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds over a 20-minute appearance. The then-freshman made all 10 of the free throws she attempted at the Erwin Center.

Moore’s game against Fairfield is one of 13 instances in school history in which one player didn’t miss while shooting at least 10 free throws.

Led by Moore and fellow freshman Rori Harmon, Texas eventually advanced to the Elite Eight round of the NCAA Tournament. The Longhorns closed out that season with a 29-7 record.
