AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Jordan Lee scored 19 points and No. 1-seed Texas opened the women’s NCAA Tournament with an 87-45 romp over Missouri State, building a 32-point lead by halftime as the Longhorns started what they hope will be a return trip to the Final Four.

All-American Madison Booker had 14 points and 12 rebounds for Texas (32-3) against the overmatched No. 16-seed Lady Bears. The Longhorns advance to Sunday’s second-round game against No. 8-seed Oregon, which beat No. 9 Virginia Tech 70-60 earlier Friday.

Texas is a No. 1 seed for the third consecutive year. The Longhorns advanced to the Final Four last season for the first time since 2003. Texas hasn’t won a national championship since 1986 when the Longhorns were the first team to go undefeated for the title.

If they win Sunday, the Longhorns would head three hours north to Fort Worth for the Sweet 16.

“We still have a season in front of us,” Booker said, “We just have to just keep that mindset.”

The Longhorns overwhelmed Missouri State early with their size and speed at both ends of the court.

Kyla Oldacre, at 6-foot-6, scored 15 points was an immovable force under the basket. The quickness of Texas guards Lee, Rori Harmon and Bryanna Preston created open lanes to the basket or shut them down on defense.

Texas led 19-4 after the first quarter and 44-12 by halftime. Missouri State, which won the Conference USA Tournament, made just four baskets in the first half.

Kaemyn Bekemeier scored 14 points to lead Missouri State (23-13).

Bekemeier said the Lady Bears were unsettled early playing in front a loud crowd of nearly 8,000 on Texas’ home court. Texas has won 43 in a row at home.

“The environment was amazing. We might have been a little intimidated at the beginning,” Bekemeier said. “They are great defenders … They have a great shot to win this thing.”

It wasn’t all smooth for the Longhorns after a two-week break following their Southeastern Conference Tournament championship. They looked rusty early and missed nine of 18 layups and shot just 41% in the first half against a team they could bully on both ends of the court.

“We’re just knocking off some rust. I’m sure we’ll regroup,” Harmon said. “I anticipate we’ll play a lot better.”

MARYLAND 99, MURRAY STATE 67

Redshirt freshman Kyndal Walker scored a career-high 20 points and she had plenty of help from Maryland teammates as the Terrapins defeated Murray State .

Mir McLean provided 19 points and 14 rebounds and Addi Mack added 18 points, while Yarden Garzon had 12 points and Saylor Poffenbarger added 10 points for fifth-seeded Maryland, which hammered the Racers on the boards.

The Terrapins (24-8), who matched their highest point total in a regulation game this season with the aid of 50% shooting from the field, will meet North Carolina in Sunday’s second round at Chapel Hill.

Halli Poock poured in 27 points and Haven Ford and Keslyn Secrist each scored 17 points for No. 12-seed Murray State (31-4), which finished with a school-record win total even though its 15-game winning streak ended.

BAYLOR 67, NEBRASKA 62

Taliah Scott scored 15 points and Baylor rallied from a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter, making 11 of 14 free throws down the stretch, to beat Nebraska.

After leading 19-11 after the first quarter, the sixth-seeded Bears (25-8) went cold and were down 50-41 with 9:33 to play in their March Madness opener. Baylor then turned up the full-court press and forced six turnovers by Nebraska in the final quarter.

The turning point came on a jump ball with the game tied at 53 with 3:48 to play. Collen appealed for officials to review the play for a flagrant foul on Nebraska junior forward Jessica Petrie, who appeared to have pulled down Baylor’s Bella Fontleroy.

Baylor won the appeal, and Scott made two free throws to give Baylor the lead for good. Petrie, who had 10 points for the Cornhuskers, fouled out on the next play.

MICHIGAN 83, HOLY CROSS 48

Mila Holloway and Syla Swords each had seven points in a dominant opening quarter and combined to score 33 points, leading second-seeded Michigan to an 83-48 win over 15th-seeded Holy Cross in the first round of the women’s NCAA Tournament on Friday.

Holloway finished with 20 points, eight rebounds and seven assists to show she’s a talented sophomore on the team along with third-team All-American Olivia Olson and Swords, an All-Big Ten guard.

Kaitlyn Flanagan scored 11 points as the only double-digit scorer for Holy Cross.

Olson had 12 points and eight rebounds, Brooke Daniels had 12 points and Te’Yala Delfosse added 10 points for the Wolverines (26-6).

Michigan will be back on its home court against N.C. State with a chance to advance to the Sweet 16 for the third time in school history.

MINNESOTA 75, GREEN BAY 58

The progress Minnesota made this season to draw a top-16 seed for the NCAA Tournament never mattered more than down the stretch against Green Bay, with a roaring crowd helping carry the Gophers to victory.

Minnesota survived a home-court scare from the No. 13 seed, using a 30-point fourth quarter to surge past the Phoenix.

Amaya Battle had 21 points and eight rebounds, Sophie Hart scored 19 points, and Mara Braun saved her best for the sizzling finish as the No. 4 seed Gophers (23-8) celebrated their first tournament appearance since 2018 with a memorable comeback in front of a season-high 10,355 fans at Williams Arena.

MICHIGAN STATE 65, COLORADO STATE 62

Grace VanSlooten and Kennedy Blair each scored 18 points, and Michigan State rallied in the second half to beat Colorado State.

VanSlooten added 10 rebounds for Michigan State (23-8), the fifth seed in the Sacramento Region. The Spartans will play either No. 4 seed Oklahoma or No. 13 seed Idaho in the second round on Sunday.

Brooke Carlson had 26 points, six rebounds and three assists for No. 12 seed Colorado State (27-8), which played without leading scorer Lexus Bargesser. She suffered a non-contact injury during the Rams’ Mountain West Conference Tournament title run.

Hannah Ronsiek missed a 3-point attempt at the buzzer that would have forced overtime.

LSU 116, JACKSONVILLE 58

Flau’jae Johnson scored 20 points, Mikaylah Williams had 18 points and 10 assists, and No. 2 seed LSU easily surpassed it’s nation-leading scoring average with a blowout of 15th seed Jacksonville

LSU (28-5), which entered the game averaging 94.5 points per game, scored 100 or more for the 15th time this season, matching an NCAA Division I record set by Long Beach State during the 1986-87 season. The Tigers’ point total also set a school record for an NCAA Tournament game.

LSU hosts a second-round game against either No. 7 seed Texas Tech and 10th seed Villanova.

DUKE 81, CHARLESTON 64

Toby Fournier scored 24 points on 11-of-18 shooting and Duke maintained its momentum by opening the first round of March Madness with a victory over the College of Charleston on Friday.

Jordan Wood had 17 points on 5-of-5 shooting from 3-point range and Delaney Thomas had 19 points and nine rebounds for the third-seeded Blue Devils (25-8), who are hosting the first and second rounds of the women’s NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Since a 3-6 start, Duke is on a 22-2 run that includes their second ACC Tournament championship in a row.

N.C. STATE 76, TENNESSEE 61

Zamareya Jones scored 15 of her career-high 30 points in the first half to help build a double-digit lead and seventh-seeded North Carolina State went on to beat 10th-seeded Tennessee.

The Wolfpack (21-10) will play second-seeded Michigan (26-6) on the Wolverines’ home court in the second round Sunday. They might be without All-ACC guard Zoe Brooks, who injured his right leg in the quarter and didn’t return.

The Lady Vols (16-14) have dropped eight straight games for the first time in the NCAA women’s basketball era that dates to the 1981-82 season, and they matched the 2015-16 team’s school record for losses.
