Texas women’s basketball defeated TCU 58-47 Monday to move to its first NCAA Tournament Final Four appearance since 2003.
The Longhorns fended off the Horned Frogs, who cut the lead to single digits late in the fourth quarter before finally succumbing. Texas guards Madison Booker and Rori Harmon led the team in scoring, with 18 and 13 points, respectively.

Texas has reached the Elite Eight round of the NCAA Tournament in three of the last four seasons, but South Carolina (2021), Stanford (2022) and North Carolina State (2024) all prevented the Longhorns from securing a Final Four berth. Now, they’ll look to make a National Championship for the first time since 1986.
To make it there, Texas will face South Carolina for the fourth time this season. The teams split their regular season matchups before the Gamecocks defeated the Longhorns in the finals of the Southeastern Conference Tournament.
