The Longhorns women's basketball team, ranked third nationally, is on a tear — but faces big challenges Thursday and Sunday. Why it matters: By early next week, the 24-2 University of Texas could be ranked No.

The Longhorns ended the Gamecocks' 57-game conference win streak in front of a sold-out crowd, as coach Dawn Staley had not lost an SEC game since December 2021. Texas guard Madison Booker led the way with 20 points, 11 rebounds and three assists while post Kyla Oldacre added 13 points, six rebounds and an assist.
