"Five Division I women's teams are shooting 50% or better from the field this season. Three are in the SEC, and two meet Thursday in the second game of a blockbuster doubleheader on ESPN: No. 4 Texas and No. 5 LSU, which both maintain their spots this week in ESPN's women's college basketball Power Rankings. The Longhorns and Tigers will be preceded by Duke at Louisville (7 p.m. ET), in a battle of the ACC's leaders."
"After losing their first two SEC games, the Tigers have won seven in a row, the longest current winning streak in the conference that includes a 70-65 victory at home over Texas on Jan. 11. For the Longhorns to deliver payback on their home court, they must slow down an LSU offense that leads Division I in scoring average (98.9) and ranks second in field goal percentage (52.22%), trailing only No. 1 UConn (52.96%)."
