Texas Women’s Basketball Faces Ole Miss in SEC Tournament Quarterfinals
The Texas Longhorns women’s basketball team is set to take on the Ole Miss Rebels in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament. Texas, the No. 2 seed in the tournament, enters the matchup looking to continue its strong season and make a deep postseason run. Meanwhile, Ole Miss, the No. 7 seed, is coming off a hard-fought victory in the second round and hopes to pull off an upset.
Texas has been one of the most consistent teams in the SEC this season, finishing near the top of the standings with an impressive overall record. Led by head coach Vic Schaefer, the Longhorns boast a balanced attack, featuring elite defense and a strong inside presence. Forward Aaliyah Moore and guard Rori Harmon have been instrumental in Texas’ success, providing leadership and key contributions on both ends of the floor.
On the other side, Ole Miss, coached by Yolett McPhee-McCuin, has been a gritty and resilient team throughout the season. The Rebels rely on their defensive intensity and physical style of play to challenge opponents. Guard Madison Scott and forward Marquesha Davis have been standout performers, helping Ole Miss navigate a tough SEC schedule.
This quarterfinal clash will be a test of Texas’ ability to handle pressure against an Ole Miss squad eager to extend its tournament run. The Longhorns will look to dominate the boards and push the tempo, while the Rebels will aim to slow the game down and make Texas work for every basket.
Tipoff is set for Friday, and the winner will advance to the semifinals with hopes of securing an SEC Tournament title and improving their NCAA Tournament seeding.
