Cliffs Notes: The Texas women's basketball team handled its business on the road with a 76-66 win over Oklahoma State in Stillwater.
The Participants: No.11 Texas (18-2, 5-2 Big 12) and NR Oklahoma State (11-7, 4-3 Big 12)
Pre-Game NET Rankings: Texas (No.2) and Oklahoma State (No. 53)
Pre-Game RPI Rankings: Texas (No.21) and Oklahoma State (No. 112)
Game MVP: It's hard to pick just one because the Longhorns had four players score 15+ points in the game, but Madison Booker was terrific in the second half, where she scored 14 of her 19 points, to go along with 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals. It was enough do-it-all action that I'm ignoring the 6 turnovers.
If you can't overlook the turnovers: Senior Taylor Jones was pretty terrific as well, scoring 18 points on 7 shots, while also grabbing 14 rebounds.
Key Sequence: The Longhorns opened a close game in the opening stages of the 4th quarter by going on a 10-1 run, which turned a 57-53 game into a 67-54 game, basically serving as a knockout punch.
The First Half Big 3: Shaylee Gonzales (11 points), Taylor Jones (11 points) and Aaliyah Moore (9 points) combined for 31 of UT's 39 first-half points on 12 of 21 shooting, while the rest of the team combined to make 3 of 10 shots from the floor in the first 2 quarters of action. The three ended up combining for 50 points and 23 rebounds for the game.
Bench Production and three-pointers are Overrated: The Longhorns only played eight players and received 0 points on 0 for 2 shooting, 4 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals and 0 blocks from its bench today. Meanwhile, the Longhorns only made 1 of 6 shots from three-point range over 40 minutes of play.
Second Quarter Gut Punch: Oklahoma State gave a good fight in the first half by keeping the game within reach every time it looked like Texas might start to create some separation, but Shaylee Gonzales' jumper in the final seconds of the second quarter provided the Longhorns momentum and a 39-30 lead going into half-time.
Thing You Need to Know: The Longhorns dominated on the glass today, finishing with a 39-25 advantage.

I come from a large Oklahoma State family. I heard Hill’s name several times today in a game that’s pretty much over and will result In Baltimore winning. I kept thinking he had his way against us in college. While he isn’t necessarily lighting up Houston, he was quite effective against our Longhorns. Two family members texted me reminding me he had his way against us. Do you recall him from his OSU days? I definitely do.
