The fourth-ranked Longhorns made the most of their nationally televised game on Super Bowl Sunday and won their rematch with the No. The victory by the Longhorns, who improved to overall, forged a three-way tie atop the SEC standings with the Gamecocks and LSU, with each in conference play — and the battle for the No.
Kentucky , is just behind the first-place trio in the standings, but there's a gap behind the Wildcats as Alabama , sits fifth.
Kentucky plays at sixth-place Ole Miss , on Monday night. Madison Booker scored 20 points for Texas, and Rori Harmon hit two critical free throws in the final seconds to secure the Longhorns' eighth straight win and 20th in a row at home since January Close game, great for our game.
It's just unfortunate somebody had to lose. I don't have to tell you how good that team is we played today. In my mind, they're the No. Schaefer is against Staley. The first 16 games were when Schaefer coached Mississippi State from Booker, who was just 3-of from the field during last month's loss at South Carolina, shot better 7-for in the rematch and grabbed 11 rebounds, including a critical one late in the game.
Booker is not just the Longhorns' best player, she's their most versatile. A natural small forward, the 6-foot-1 sophomore moved to point guard last season, replacing Harmon after she sustained a season-ending knee injury. Texas recently lost starting power forward Aaliyah Moore to a knee injury, and now Booker has asserted herself more as a rebounder. He proudly put them on display — along with the rest of the Longhorns — for a national audience as ESPN televised the game on a Sunday when sports viewing was in the plans for many Americans.
