Texas Women’s Basketball Dominates Texas A&M in Statement Win

The No. 4 Texas Longhorns women’s basketball team delivered a powerful message this week, crushing Texas A&M 80–35 in one of their most dominant showings of the season. While the matchup didn’t take place in Houston, the in-state rivalry always grabs attention across Texas — and this one was all burnt orange.

Texas controlled the game from the opening tip, smothering the Aggies on defense and controlling the boards throughout the night. By halftime, the Longhorns had already built a commanding lead, and the gap only widened as their depth took over late in the game.

Longhorns Showcase Elite Two-Way Play

The victory wasn’t just big — it was a complete team effort. Texas moved the ball with precision, forced turnovers, and never gave Texas A&M room to breathe. Their offense clicked at every level, while the defense limited the Aggies to one of their lowest scoring totals of the year.

Fans in Houston who follow the program closely know this matchup carries weight. Anytime Texas and Texas A&M clash, the energy spikes, and a 45-point win adds extra fuel to the rivalry. The Longhorns’ intensity showed why they are firmly planted in the top five nationally and why expectations continue to grow as postseason play inches closer.

Why It Matters

This win strengthens Texas’ national profile and underscores the consistency the team has shown early in the season. With conference play approaching, momentum is everything — and the Longhorns look like they’re hitting their stride at the perfect time. Houston-based fans, alumni, and supporters can feel the energy building as March edges closer.

What’s Next

Texas will continue its non-conference slate before jumping into Big 12 play, where every game becomes a grind. If they keep stacking performances like this one, the Longhorns could be on the road to a deep tournament run.
