In the Sweet Sixteen at Dickies Arena, Texas outscored Kentucky 22‑points, capitalizing on 24 turnovers and 24 made shots. The Longhorns ran a 15‑0 stretch after the first quarter, and Kentucky’s key players struggled, with Tonie Morgan finishing 8‑point, 8‑turnover night and Amelia Hassett missing a late 3‑point attempt.
The loss ends Kentucky’s season, leaving a top‑10 recruiting class to fill the void left by key contributors. Coach will look to the transfer portal and freshman Kaelyn Carroll to rebuild for next year.
