No. 2 Texas is back in the Elite Eight for the second consecutive season after taking down No. 6 Ohio State in a 66-63 thriller. Last season Texas’ NCAA tournament run ended with a loss to South Carolina in the Elite Eight.
Awaiting the Longhorns this time around is defending national champion and No. 1 seeded Stanford Cardinal.
The two teams met earlier in the season where Texas pulled off the 61-56 upset on the road in what was a breakout game for star point guard Rori Harmon. The freshman scored 21 points on an efficient 8-16 shooting. Texas will need a similar performance from Harmon to pull off the victory again.
Slowing down Stanford’s Cameron Brink will be a focus of Vic Schafer’s game plan for this one. Brink can do it all for the Cardinal, she leads the team in both scoring and rebounding.
Here is how to tune in for this highly anticipated matchup between Texas and Stanford.
