Let's dive into this thrilling NCAA Women's March Madness Elite 8 showdown of Texas titans between the TCU Horned Frogs and the Texas Longhorns. The Longhorns, being the top seed, are certainly feeling the heat of the expectations, however, this isn't a walk in the park. Both teams have had stellar regular seasons with matching records of 31 wins and a miniscule 3 losses.
TCU boasts an impressive roster, namely Sedona Prince and Hailey Van Lith, both delivering some crushing figures on a consistent basis. Prince has been a sight to behold, raking in 18.7 points per game this season and cleaning up the boards with 6.7 rebounds. Van Lith is no less impressive, offering an impressive 7 assists per game this season and letting the scoreboard tick with her 18.3 points per game.
The Longhorns, they've got Madison Booker leading the charge with an awe-inspiring 19 points per game this season, while Taylor Jones has been constantly hitting double-digit scores. And let's not forget Rori Harmon, who's been silently stepping up the game with an impressive 6 assists per game this season.
Looking at the past match-ups, it seems like the Longhorns have had the edge over the Horned Frogs, with three consecutive victories under their belt. Not to mention, their recent results flaunt a distinctive pattern of dominion, a factor that cannot be ignored when weighing the odds.
Despite the recent wins, the Horned Frogs have been maintaining an upward trend, pulling some impressive wins, particularly against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
Nevertheless, past trends and player stats point in the direction of a Longhorns birthday party. So ladies and gentlemen, considering all the heat and dust, I'd venture to say, there is a tough but victorious path ahead for the Texas Longhorns.
