The spring semester at Tarleton State University has officially started, and to help welcome the Texan students back to Stephenville, there are four home events; the Bill Brock Show at The Purple Goat on Monday at 6 p.m., the Billy Gillispie Show at The Purple Goat on Monday at 6:30 p.m., Texan Women's Basketball at the EECU Center on Thursday at 7 p.m., and Texan Women's Basketball at the EECU Center on Saturday at 1 p.m.
 
TEXAN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL will play at home this week for the first time in the year 2026, set to face Southern Utah on Thursday at 7 p.m., followed by Utah Tech on Saturday at 1 p.m. Tarleton State has started 4-2 at its brand new home in Stephenville, and last hosted UT Arlington on Dec. 29, a 66-57 win for the Texans. They'll look to snap a three-game losing streak with a win against the Thunderbirds, who are 11-5 overall and 3-1 in WAC play. Thursday will be a Purple Out at the EECU Center, with free purple shirts available for early arriving fans at the arena. On Saturday, the Texans will host Youth Team Bonding, as Tarleton State Women's Basketball will welcome back several campers from this past offseason to watch them in action. The Texans will face Utah Tech, who sit 6-8 overall and 1-3 in conference play.
 
TEXAN TENNIS will begin its 2026 spring schedule on the road in Norman, Oklahoma, on Thursday. The Texans will open things with a neutral site match against Wyoming at 11 a.m., followed by a 2 p.m. contest against the No. 6 Oklahoma Sooners. Tarleton State Tennis will host 11 matches and will play 23 contests overall in the 2026 spring slate. Tarleton State had a fall season to remember in 2025, winning 99 matches to go with sweeping the WAC Fall Invitational titles. Maria Castano (singles and doubles) and Aya Ishii (doubles) earned the automatic bid to the ITA Conference Masters Championships in San Diego, where they picked up the program's first win at the event with a doubles victory against Richmond. Marissa Minetti, who went undefeated in singles in the fall, finished ranked No. 111 in the country by ITA.
 
TEXAN TRACK AND FIELD will participate in its first indoor meet of the 2026 calendar year, and the second indoor meet of the season. On Friday-Saturday, the Texans will be in Lubbock at Texas Tech's Corky Classic. In Tarleton State's first indoor meet, the OU Winter Field Fest Invitational, the Texans had four place within the top three and saw one school record fall. Davi Torres broke the school record in the high jump. Lokesh Sathyanthan had the highest Texan finish earning second place in the men's long jump. Sir Jonathan Sims, Sofia DeGroot and Torres each also posted third-place performances. DeGroot and Sathyanathan each earned the WAC's Field Athlete of the Week following their performance to start the indoor track and field season.
 
TEXAN MEN'S BASKETBALL will hit the road for the first time in 2026, taking on Southern Utah on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. CT in Cedar City, then Utah Tech on Saturday at 8 p.m. CT in St. George. The Texans are 11-6 overall, 2-2 in WAC play to start. Conference action has been extremely competitive to start, with each of the four games decided by six points or fewer, including an overtime win against California Baptist on Jan. 3. As of this Monday, Dior Johnson is the second leading scorer across all of NCAA Division I at 23.8 points per game, only behind Northwestern's Nick Martinelli (24.1 PPG).
 
THE BILL BROCK SHOW AND BILLY GILLISPIE SHOW will be at The Purple Goat on Monday from 6-7 p.m., with regular Monday weekly shows through the rest of the season (except March 9).
