The stage is set for an all-Texas showdown in the Elite Eight as the top-seeded Texas Longhorns (34-2) square off against the No. 2 TCU Horned Frogs (32-3). With a Final Four berth on the line and statewide bragging rights at stake, expect nothing short of a battle between two powerhouse programs.
Texas has been a dominant force all season, led by the relentless Madison Booker, whose scoring and defensive presence make the Longhorns a nightmare for opponents. TCU, meanwhile, has had a stellar campaign of its own, with Hailey Van Lith shining in the Sweet 16, dropping 26 points. She's been a consistent offensive weapon, scoring at least 16 points in five of her last six outings. However, the Horned Frogs' supporting cast hasn't always delivered, as seen in their humbling 33-point loss to South Carolina, where Van Lith accounted for nearly half of the team's 52 points.
Booker has topped 17 points in every tournament game, and she's likely to do it again. But Texas' real advantage lies in its depth and stifling defense, which should prove too much for TCU to handle.
Texas has made it to the NCAA Tournament's fourth round in four of the last five seasons, yet a Final Four appearance has remained elusive since 2003. Now, the Longhorns must get past a familiar Big 12 rival, TCU, to punch their ticket to this year's Final Four in Tampa.
