TAMPA, Fla. — It’s halftime of Texas’ Elite Eight win over TCU and head coach Vic Schaefer has a question: “Who is going to box out No. 21?” Agnes Emma-Nnopu had eight first-half rebounds, and Schaefer was desperate to slow her down.

Wilson is here, too, hosting an event for her Nike shoe, the A’One.
