Texas women's basketball made it to the Final Four after beating Michigan in the Elite Eight. How did Longhorns and college basketball fans react to the win?
Texas Longhorns center Kyla Oldacre (00) blocks a shot attempt by Michigan forward Ashley Sofilkanich (15) during the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament Elite 8 game at Dickies Arena on Monday, March 30, 2026 in Fort Worth, Texas. (Aaron E. Martinez/Austin American-Statesman) There's domination and then there's what Texas women's basketball did to a very solid Michigan squad on Monday.
After a 2-2 tie, Texas opened up a double-digit lead that threatened 30 points of separation. It ended with a 77-41 win for the Longhorns . Madison Booker had 19 points, Justice Carlton chipped in 15 points and Rori Harmon racked up seven points, 13 assists and seven rebounds.
Now the Longhorns will play UCLA in the Final Four, a rematch of Texas' November win over the Bruins — losing to Texas is UCLA's only loss of the season. But first, let's see what people had to say about the massive win. Here are some reactions from the game: Damn Texas really beating the brakes off Michigan😭 — Michael B (@Lilmikyb) March 31, 2026 This is utter domination by the Longhorns against a very, very good Michigan team.
