This will mark the first time that GameDay has come to the Forty Acres for women’s basketball.
The 4th-ranked Texas Longhorns are 20-2 on the season with victories over teams like UCLA, South Carolina, Baylor, and Ole Miss. The only two losses came in back-to-back conference games: a loss at LSU and then a loss in a rematch with the Gamecocks. The Horns have bounced back from that skid with dominant wins over Texas A&M and Florida.
10th-ranked Oklahoma is 17-4, with losses to only UCLA, Ole Miss, Kentucky, and LSU, while boasting wins over Oklahoma State and South Carolina. They are currently on a three game win streak.
The Sooners are led by their star true freshman guard Aaliyah Chavez, the No. 1 player in the ‘25 class. Texas was the favorite in her commitment up until she chose to play in Norman. She leads the team with 18.9 ppg and 4.3 apg.
Center Raegan Beers averages a double-double, contributing 16.3 ppg and 10.7 rpg. Sahara Williams, Payton Verhulst, and Zya Vann all add double digit points per game for the Sooners.
