For Texas women’s basketball, Sunday’s Red River Rivalry matchup is also a top-10 showdown.
No. 4 Texas is set to host No. 10 Oklahoma at Moody Center for their only game against each other during the regular season. The two programs started playing each other in 1979, but this marks just the second time in their 70-game series that both teams hold top-10 rankings. Last season, then-No. 5 Texas beat then-No. 9 Oklahoma in the SEC debuts for both schools.

About the only thing that hasn’t gone Texas way was a foul called on forward Justice Carlton at the 7:24 mark of the second quarter. That whistle led to an animated response from Vic Schaefer in which the Texas coach ripped off his coach and argued to no avail with referee Joseph Vaszily.
End 1: Texas 19, Oklahoma 10
Justice Carlton has given Texas an early boost with a nine-point showing over this afternoon’s first 10 minutes. Three of those points were scored on a last-second 3-pointer, which was the fourth deep shot made by the sophomore forward this season.
At 88.9 points per game, Oklahoma entered this game with the No. 3 scoring offense in the country. But in the first quarter, the Sooners shot 31.3% from the field, missed all six of their 3-pointers and committed five turnovers. Oklahoma leading scorer Aaliyah Chavez was held scoreless in the first quarter.
