Texas Upsets South Carolina, Ending 57-Game SEC Streak

The Longhorns defeated the Gamecocks 66-62 in a top-5 showdown, powered by Madison Booker’s standout performance and strategic adjustments.

Texas handed South Carolina its first regular-season SEC loss since December 2021, snapping a 57-game streak.
Madison Booker led the Longhorns with 20 points, overcoming tough defense from Bree Hall in a redemption performance after a prior loss to the Gamecocks.
The Longhorns capitalized on their height advantage and strong play in the paint, with Kyla Oldacre contributing 13 points and key moments in the fourth quarter.
South Carolina coach Dawn Staley faced criticism for benching key forwards Chloe Kitts and Joyce Edwards during the decisive final quarter.
The win bolstered Texas’s position in the AP Top 25, moving them to No. 3, while South Carolina dropped to No. 4 after the loss.
