In a highly-anticipated women's college basketball game, Texas defeated South Carolina 66-62, marking a significant upset as it handed the Gamecocks their first SEC regular-season loss in 57 games. Despite never trailing, Texas faced pressure, with South Carolina remaining within a 5-point margin during the last 15 minutes. This game highlights the competitiveness of women's basketball and the importance of such matchups for visibility and excitement in the sport. The AP Top 25 rankings were impacted as teams such as Creighton and Baylor entered while California and Vanderbilt dropped out.
"It's great for women's basketball, probably great for TV. Close game, great for our game. It's just unfortunate somebody had to lose."
"In Sunday's win over South Carolina, Texas became the first team to win an AP top-5 matchup without making a 3-pointer since UConn went 0-for-9 in a win over Oklahoma in the 2002 national championship game."
