All-American Booker has big night with 30 points as No. 6 Texas rolls Northern Colorado 91-29

Madison Booker delivered a standout performance, scoring 30 points and securing the third spot on Texas' all-time point record. The No. 6 Longhorns dominated Northern Colorado with a 91-29 victory on Saturday night. Booker's impressive shooting, including 10 of 14 attempts and three 3-pointers, along with six assists, set the tone for the game.

Freshman Brihanna Crittendon and Addison Bjron added 13 and 11 points, respectively, as Texas led 49-9 at halftime. Mia Galbraith led Northern Colorado with seven points. The Bears struggled against Texas' half-court pressure defense, shooting just 31.6% and committing 32 turnovers, which the Longhorns turned into 33 points. Texas' defense allowed Northern Colorado to score only 31.6% of their field goals.

Texas shot 56% from the field and amassed 46 points in the paint. The Longhorns could face a tougher challenge against South Dakota State on Wednesday, following their dominant performance against South Dakota State last season. Northern Colorado, who recently signed Jayda Clark from the Australian WNBL, will host Northern New Mexico on Monday.
