FT: Texas 100-58 Oregon. Booker scored career high 40. Breaks Texas record for NCAA tournament game of 32, set by Heather Schreiber in 2003 and Clarissa Davis in 1986. (Those 2003 and 1986 teams went to the FF, btw)

Yeah, Booker. She's got a career-high 36 in a dazzling display of shot making. It's 82-45 with 7:29 left. Texas fans will stick around to bid adieu to Rori Harmon

Booker long pass to Lee for a fastbreak layup. Texas rolling now 60-39 in 3Q.
English
Booker took on about 10 defenders on that drive, and 1. Its a 20-point lead
English
Booker's shooting has cooled off (still, kind of surprising whenever she misses). But Texas has the lead up to 18 early 3Q
English
Harmon's final home game stat line so far: 6 points, 5 assists, 5 steals.
English
HT: Texas leads Oregon 45-34. Booker with 19. Ducks shooting cooled off before a buzzer-beater 3-pointer by Williams ends the half.
English
Fiso has to go to the bench with a bloody nose? Has gauze in her right nostril.
English
Mid 2Q Timeout: Texas still leads 36-27. Booker has 18 but some other areas of Texas offense struggling. Harmon just 1 of 5.
English
6-0 and Texas has largest lead of the game at 36-25. Crowd itching for a blowout. Ducks have been good enough on offense to keep this from getting away so far.
English
Ducks' PG Fiso doesn't seem the least bit bothered by Texas pressure D. Super quick
English
End electric 1Q: Texas leads 28-21. Booker with 14 already. Oregon shot 9 of 11 to keep up. Texas with 10 points off 6 Ducks turnovers.
English
Ok then: Texas leads Oregon 14-13 with Rori shooting a FT out of timeout mid 1Q. Ducks start 5 of 7, Texas starts 7 of 12. Booker already has 8 pts. Buckle up..
English
A few minutes to tipoff for No. 1 Texas vs No. 8 Oregon. Winner advances to Sweet 16 in Fort Worth. Texas looking for return trip to Final Four. Ducks haven't been to Sweet 16 since 2021. Last home game for Texas G Rori Harmon

Sean Miller improved to 9-1 in the Round of 32 and has won his past 9 games with a spot in the Sweet 16 on the line 🤘🏻
That’s the best winning % of any coach (minimum 10g) since NCAA Tournament expanded to 32 teams in 1975 — ahead of Mike Krzyzewski (26-6) & Bobby Knight (14-4).

it's Miller time in March 🤘 #AlwaysCompete | #HookEm
