Longhorns women's basketball continues rolling in Globl Jam tournament
Lady Longhorns improve to 2-0 in Globl Jam tournament As Longhorns women's basketball prepares for the 2025-2026 campaign, they have been able to shine on the national stage. This week, the Longhorns have participated in the Global Jam and showed why expectations are high. On Thursday, they continued their winning ways when they faced off against Team Canada. In their latest win, Texas was led by a familiar face in Madison Booker. The Longhorns' star set the tone offensively with 18 points while dishing out eight assists. She also got some help from Aaliyah Crump, who scored 13 points. As the talented duo proved too hard for Team Canada to stop, they helped built a lead that Texas would not surrender. Just like in their win over Team Puerto Rico, Texas got contributions from everyone on the roster. The bench chipped in with 26 points, and all nine players that entered the game scored. If the reserves can continue to be a problem, then this could be a hard team to stop in conference play. As the Longhorns shone offensively, they also forced Team Canada to make a lot of mistakes. The Longhorns recorded 16 points of turnovers and led for the majority of the game. That is a similar formula that led to their win over team Puerto Rico earlier in the week. After a day off, Texas will be back in action when they take on Team Brazil tomorrow. It will also be a chance for the Longhorn to inch closer to a Globl Jam Tournament title. Saturday will mark the last game of the tournament before the medal round. If Texas can replicate its play from earlier this week, it will be in a good position to come home with some hardware. While Texas will face a good opponent in Team Brazil, the Longhorns have shown in this tournament that they are full of talent and a tough team to stop regardless of who is on the floor.

Lady Longhorns open Globl Jam with win over Puerto Rico
On Wednesday, Longhorns women's basketball got to shine on the national stage. The Longhorns took on Puerto Rico in their first game of the Globl Jam. Fresh off one of their best seasons in recent memory, Texas dominated from start to finish in an impressive win. The Longhorns were led by Justice Carlton, who set the tone offensively with 18 points. She was a force on the board with 11 rebounds as Puerto Rico was overwhelmed by the Longhorns' offense. She also got some help from Ashton Judd, who made four three-pointers and had 15 points. While Texas thrived from beyond the arc, they were unstoppable close to the basket. They outrebounded Puerto Rico 60-37. That helped Texas go on a 20-0 run in the second quarter and build a lead they would never relinquish. Although the Longhorns have been out of action for a few months, they did not look like they missed a beat on Wednesday night. One of the most impressive things about the Longhorns' win was the chemistry the new faces showed. In the first quarter, 14 of the team's 21 points came from players who weren't on the roster last season. At one point, that group scored 17 straight points. That is a very encouraging sign, with the start of the college basketball season still months away. After a productive start to the tournament, Texas will be back in action on Thursday night against Team Canada. So far, they are 0-1 in the tournament and will be highly motivated to get into the win column. If Texas can force turnovers and excel on the boards, they should be able to remain undefeated. The Longhorns will have a day off after facing Canada before taking on Brazil on Saturday. If they can continue their winning ways, Texas will earn a spot in the women's final, which is set for Sunday night.
