Texas forward Madison Booker picked up 16 points and an autograph Sunday at Moody Center.

Following Texas basketball's 78-70 win over No. 10 Oklahoma, Booker sat during the postgame news conference with UT senior Rori Harmon's name scribbled on her right hand. Harmon later revealed that Booker had autographed her right hand as well.

"I'm her biggest fan," Harmon said.

Harmon was fangirling over Booker, a two-time All-American who remains on a trajectory to being included in the G.O.A.T. conversation for the UT women's basketball program.

On the other hand, Booker received her autograph from the player responsible for Sunday's biggest highlight.

En route to its 38th straight win at home, No. 4 Texas led by as many as 21 points before the Sooners rallied to within seven points with 7 minutes and 15 seconds left. After a Booker basket and an Oklahoma miss on the other end gave the Longhorns a little breathing room, Harmon put together a 10-second sequence for the Red River Rivalry to remember.

With 6:33 remaining, the 5-foot-6 Harmon sank a short shot over 6-3 Oklahoma defender Brooklyn Stewart. The Sooners attempted to beat Texas' full-court press by quickly inbounding the ball to freshman Aaliyah Chavez, but Harmon deflected the pass with her left hand. Before it went out of bounds, a lunging Harmon flicked the ball to forward Justice Carlton, who scored to give Texas a 68-55 advantage.

Harmon said she saw Chavez out of the corner of her eye after her score and reacted accordingly. Texas' veteran point guard expressed relief that Carlton was in the right place at the right time following the turnover.

"That's just an exciting play, and it brings the fans into it," Harmon said. "It just makes it more fun when you can play offense and play defense. We're so good at it. I love defensive plays, you all know that."

Texas turned 21 Oklahoma turnovers into 25 points in the eight-point win. The Longhorns are averaging 29.2 points off of turnovers this season.

With Sunday's win, Texas (21-2, 6-2) kept pace in a competitive SEC race. The fifth-place Longhorns trail first-place South Carolina (21-1, 7-1) by just one game. And they play three of the four teams ahead of them — Tennessee (14-5, 6-1), LSU (21-2, 7-2) and Vanderbilt (21-2, 7-2) — over the next two weeks.

Harmon finished with 10 points, six assists and three steals. The fifth-year senior was already the Longhorns' all-time leader in assists, and she now has 889 career assists to her name. Her 345 career steals trail Linda Waggoner's school record by just one. Harmon also tied Ariel Atkins on UT's all-time scoring list on Sunday and just needs three points to become the 19th Longhorn to score 1,500 points in a career.

"I don't think people understand how hard she works and how critical she is for this team," Booker said. "Like, she's our engine. When you see her go hard, we all go hard. ... She's good, and I hate that sometimes I take it for granted, but it's such a blessing to have her on this team."

It makes sense that Booker would have good things to say about Harmon. The two have been teammates for three seasons now. Harmon, however, was also praised by Oklahoma coach Jennie Baranczyk, who, like Harmon, has been a part of the Red River Rivalry for five years.

"I love Rori, and we're supposed to not like each other," Baranczyk said. "When you see a young person go through (a knee injury that ended Harmon's 2023-24 season), like an injury that's a hard injury to come back from, and lead her team and play really hard, you can't help but have a lot of respect for her.

"They are different when she's on the floor than when she wasn't a couple years ago. We know that. She's an elite point guard. She's Vic's extension on the floor. That's what you want in your point guards. She definitely embodies all things Texas."
