Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Texas Longhorns _ Full Game Highlights _ NCAA Tournament

They're standing at it, the Longhorn at center court by Forsberg, puts up the basketball and controlling the opening possession are the Texas Longhorns with a 31 win season, the Big 12 tournament champions. Madison Booker, a big reason why the second team All-American going right to the hoop and in. There's no resistance at all. For Nye, who is typically a sharpshooter for Bama. Back the other way quickly and Madison Booker looks around, has space. But the question mark of whether they could be the Big 12 champions, many question that when Harmon went down, the Longhorns have since answered. Parker back the other way, that left hand right at Taylor Jones. Anyone I've ever been around, loves to compete, loves to play it and loves the Longhorns. And he's sitting behind the Texas Longhorns. Carly Weathers buries the three. Nye decides to pull it out and Madison Booker who can affect so much because of that 6-1 frame will steal here in transition. Left hand finish. Here's Shea Holley, too strong. Loyal McQueen doesn't have numbers coming up the left side, decides to take anyway of Gonzalez forcing the issue. What a tough finish by McQueen. Consider that Texas and Oklahoma both joining the SEC next year. Man, what a powerful down the league way to happen. Speaking of power and balance. Booker picks up her dribble looking for somewhere to go. Shaylee Gonzalez over to Shea Holley. And Holley saw it halfway down and scored for Moore. Don't react to the three-point ability of Texas. They only make four per game. Inside, that's where they score a majority of their points nearly. Alabama, baseline drive. And Cody checks back in the ball game and gets her first points of the game. Terrific hands for a young kid. Seldom fumbles passes. We asked him, where can you get better within this tournament? And the best ones do. The bigs finishing at a higher rate and their ball screen defense has to go another notch. Stolen on the inbound. Booker finishing it off the other way. And in this game, I think you're going to see maybe 50% of the defense from Alabama will be in the zone. Barker in the horns, but again, driving deep and kicking. Yeah, Essie Barker is a downhill, driving, find others kid. And Nye on every possession. That's one of her defensive weaknesses. You've got to know it. Three points sure than anything. But she's got game off the bounce. 32 in red. They get it in to Nye. Tough was that for a right-handed player driving left. Too strong. Muhammad there on cleanup duty on the back side. Three-point ball game. Favoring the hosts. Shelly Holley coming off with the block. But Carly Weathers goes over to the left side. Moore takes it off the bounce. Leaves it short. Jones is there. Rolls in. Maddie Booker, who started off this game hot. And now her teammate is getting into it more. But she says, let me test this temperature right here. For this Texas team, a lot of success inside the mid-range. Rolls in for Booker. No wild ball, Colonel. Well, Texas just making everything tough. But an even tougher shot there for Essie Barker. On the offensive glass, Alabama has to fight when that ball's in the air. Baseline drive goes in. Against Drexel, had 18 of her 21 points in the second half. Booker looks at the shot clock, trying to get some separation. Mid-range from the elbow. What do you do? Six straight points for Texas. Tiffany, Texas has been dominant all year offensively. They average 112 points. What adjustments do you expect or anticipate here as this one's stolen away by Shelly Gonzalez on the break and all the way? They will be very difficult to knock out this women's championship. There's something about your last time through. This is the answer going to be for Alabama. They've got to find the time in this game if they have any chance. And Texas has defended really well without fouling. There you go. After the first shot is taken. Holly back to – Watch this cut by Shea Holly. I mean, this kid was a post player in – Speaking of three in crimson, Sarah Ashley Barker with the take to the hoop and the horn. To my point, you've got to get downhill through Alabama, force the officials, score through contact, stop the game and score from that free throw line. And Ashley Barker, one of the better drivers out of the SEC this year, has the ability to draw contact and finish. And a good job of the – Got to get – Launches a three. Oh, gets her. The crowd just momentarily after. Still gets her own rebound. I'm not saying something that Vic Schaefer doesn't tell his own kids. Nine for three. She can really spin it. At some point, is he going to catch up with them or is he going to fuel them to another national title? Well, the defending champs held on against MTSU and you think of her 21-point game, just two points here tonight. Inside to Gasson who's got great position on the underside. That is a set play. But against that zone, he reversed the ball. A ball reversal for Texas is their friend. Why? Aliyah Moore has kept it going. Shay Holly in the corner for three. There's one. And Jones, multiple kids with a lot of length, hard to handle. Barker, not afraid, still going right back. This time she's successful. Downhill kick out, Weathers finds Barker. And we've talked about it all game long, if you're just tuning in, so much has gone Texas' way just like this. Her teammates. About a kid that can take over. That's a 6'1 point guard recruited. And a one seed now being led by a youngster. Timeout and a nice step back jumper. Aliyah Moore showing off the handles and takes it all the way in. Cody with a nice move up and through. McQueen, got it. And they did, they closed it to 10. Vic Schaefer going to trust her handle. Leaves that one short, double-double there, thanks to Aliyah Moore. Trying to make plays. A 10-point game, the thing was not decided, the miss, and look at Moore. Just a no. But kudos to this group. Yeah, their third. Who fought to the end. Yeah, the third NCAA in the past four years, right, for Alabama. And the SEC, next generation of greats.
