The performance set a Texas NCAA tournament single-game record.

Coach Vic Schaefer called Booker 'a generational talent.'

Schaefer has urged Booker to be more aggressive, telling her to 'hunt, hunt, hunt.'

Late in the game, with Harmon on the bench, Booker passed up a 12-foot look to set up a teammate for an 18-footer.

'Hey, you turned down a 12-footer to get [a teammate] an 18-footer. Don't do that,' Schaefer said.

'She enjoys the pass as much as the bucket,' teammates noted, and he added that he has had to steer her toward taking sometimes what is available.

Harmon led Texas' defense with five steals, helping hold Oregon to eight points in the third quarter as Texas pulled away.

Texas' 44th straight home win set a Texas record.

Schaefer praised the team's defensive tenacity and shooting, saying, 'When you make shots like this team can, it's a whole lot easier coaching. If they keep doing that, they're going to be a tough out.'

Texas advances to the Sweet 16 for the third straight year and will face the winner of Monday's Kentucky-West Virginia game.

The combination of defensive tenacity and offensive scoring gives the Longhorns a chance to contend for their first NCAA title in 40 years.
