Now, let’s talk stats. Louisiana Tech leads the all-time series 8-4, but Texas has come out on top in the last two meetings. The Longhorns are on fire this season, ranking No. 12 in the country in turnovers forced per game and No. 5 in turnover margin. They’ve been dominating on the boards with a +16.7 rebounding margin and a 68-20 advantage in second chance points.
Rori Harmon is making waves as the first player in DI women’s basketball this season to achieve 20 points, seven assists, six rebounds, and four steals in a game. The Longhorns are also flexing their scoring prowess, putting up 61 first half points and 110 for the game in their last matchup.
But wait, there’s more! Texas just signed the No. 1 recruiting class in the country, and they’re the only school with two top-10 signees. Plus, they’re kicking off season two in the Moody Center, where they had an impressive 15-3 record in the first season.
Let’s not forget that the Longhorns were crowned the 2023 Big 12 Champions, and Head Coach Vic Schaefer was named Big 12 Coach of the Year. Rori Harmon, Madison Booker, DeYona Gaston, Shaylee Gonzales, and Aaliyah Moore have all received preseason honors, with Gonzales ranking fifth among all active women’s DI college basketball players in career scoring.
It’s safe to say that the Longhorns are bringing their A-game, and this matchup is one you won’t want to miss!
