AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Madison Booker had 20 points and 11 rebounds, and Rori Harmon hit two critical free throws in the final seconds as No. 4 Texas beat No. 2 South Carolina 66-62 Sunday, ending the Gamecocks’ 57-game Southeastern Conference regular-season winning streak dating to 2021.

Harmon converted a pair of free throws with 10.8 seconds left to extend Texas’ two-point lead to the final four-point margin.

A 3-point try by South Carolina’s Sania Feagin missed the mark with nine seconds left and Harmon grabbed the rebound to seal the Longhorns’ eight consecutive win and 20th straight at home dating to Jan. 2024.
