Ole Miss Rebels at Texas Longhorns
· SEC Tournament - Semifinal
Booker's 31 points lift No. 4 Texas past No. 24 Ole Miss 85-68 and into the SEC title game
Kyla Oldacre was strong in the paint with 19 points and eight rebounds for the Longhorns (30-3), who’ll face No. 3 South Carolina (31-2) in a rematch of last year’s title game which the Gamecocks won 64-45.
Cotie McMahon and Denim DeShields each 20 points for Mississippi (23-11), which was outscored 28-13 in the fourth quarter.
The Rebels reached the semifinal round after a stunning win over No. 5 Vanderbilt in which they jumped out to a 23-2 lead and led by 32 in the third quarter before holding off a late rally by the Commodores.
They didn't start nearly as fast on Saturday.
The taller Longhorns used a 12-0 run to build a 16-point lead in the first half, outscoring the Rebels 30-14 in the paint.
But Ole Miss came storming back and cut the deficit to two points two entering the fourth quarter after Denim DeShields hit a 3-pointer from the corner, just beating the buzzer.
The fourth quarter belonged to Texas and Booker.
Booker was 5 of 6 from the field and scored 13 points in the final frame, including a huge 3 with two minutes left to put the Longhorns up by 12. Ole Miss was 5 of 14 from the field in the fourth quarter and missed all five 3-point attempts.
Texas: Has split the two matchups with South Carolina this season, beating the Gamecocks 66-64 in a neutral site game in November and losing 68-65 at Columbia, South Carolina, in January.
