Madison Booker scored 21 points, Taylor Jones had 13 and No. 10 Texas beat TCU 72-60 on Wednesday night. Booker, a freshman, added seven rebounds and six assists as Texas (16-1, 3-1 Big 12) won its third straight game. It also improved to 25-1 against TCU in Austin.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas freshman Madison Booker was supposed to spend this season as the talented sidekick to Longhorns' star guard Rori Harmon.
Harmon tore the ACL in her right knee during a shootaround before a game against Jackson State on Dec. 27 and made the announcement she'd be done for the season the following Friday ahead of the Big 12 Conference opener against Baylor. Despite all of the things Harmon does on the floor — she led the country in assist-to-turnover ratio and was second in total assists at the time of her injury — freshman Madison Booker can offer "a different look," as head coach Vic Schaefer put it.
Now it gets interesting! Two top ten teams—No. 5 Texas and No. 10 Baylor—kick off Big 12 play. How will the Longhorns adapt without Rori Harmon? Are the Bears now the best team in the state and conference?
