Texas women's basketball looked like a team on a mission Monday.
Oddmakers had the Longhorns as 10-point favorites over the Michigan Wolverines in the Elite Eight round of the NCAA Tournament. Well, by the end of the first quarter, Texas was up 13 and by the end of the third quarter it was a 26-point game. It all ended in a dominant 71-44 win.
Now UT is onto the national semifinals, one win away from the title game. Forward Madison Booker had 19 points to lead Texas, one of three Longhorns to reach double figures in scoring. Senior guard Rori Harmon also had a game-high 13 assists and Texas totaled 18 as a team.

Next up for the Longhorns? Another Big Ten team. But this is one UT has already played this season.
Here's everything you need to know about Texas in the 2026 Final Four:
The Texas Longhorns will face off against UCLA (35-1) on Friday. The UCLA Bruins finished the season 28-1 and in first place in the Big Ten, then swept past Washington, Ohio State and Iowa to win the Big Ten Tournament. They earned the No. 1 seed in the Sacramento regional (and No. 2 NCAA seed overall).
