Texas Rout: Longhorns End Skid in Dominating Fashion
19 Jan
Summary
- Kyla Oldacre's career-best 18 rebounds powered Texas's dominant win.
- Texas outscored Texas A&M 23-3 in the third quarter.
- Aaliyah Crump returned from injury to lead Longhorns with 12 points.
No. 4 Texas snapped a two-game losing streak Sunday by routing Texas A&M 80-35 in Austin. Kyla Oldacre anchored the dominant performance with a career-best 18 rebounds, alongside five blocks and 10 points. The Longhorns' stifling defense, including full- and half-court pressure, limited the Aggies to just 17% shooting and 25 turnovers.
Texas decisively pulled away in the third quarter, outscoring Texas A&M 23-3. This surge followed an inefficient first half where Texas led 34-24. Freshman Aaliyah Crump, returning after a 15-game absence due to a foot injury, led Texas with 12 points, adding six rebounds and four assists in her return.
The victory marked Texas's 37th consecutive home win. Despite the offensive output, the Longhorns struggled from beyond the arc, missing 17 of 18 three-point attempts, a continuation of shooting woes from their previous game. Texas will next play at Arkansas, while Texas A&M hosts LSU.
