AUSTIN, Texas (AP) \u2014 Madison Booker scored a career-high 40 points in a dazzling display of shot making and No. 1 Texas rolled past No. 8 Oregon 100-58 Sunday in the second round of the women\u2019s NCAA Tournament<\/a>, sending the Longhorns back to the Sweet 16 for the third consecutive year.<\/p>\n

The Longhorns\u2019 three-time All-American<\/a> was dominant from the opening tip as she created shots from all over the floor. She scored 19 in the first half, and her 3-point play early in the third quarter, when she muscled through and over three defenders for a layup, sparked a 19-4 run that turned the game into a rout.<\/p>\n
