The Lady Longhorns destroyed Michigan State!!!
Here's part of the story:
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Jamie Carey was gutsy and gritty and top-seeded Texas is moving on in the West Regional.
Carey shook off a ferocious collision in the first half to score 20 points for the Longhorns in a bruising 80-61 win over Michigan State on Tuesday night in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
She had to leave the court for several minutes in the first half after getting picked off running into a Michigan State screen but returned to score all of her points, hitting five 3-pointers.
"I turned, hit the pick and I was on the ground," Carey said. "That's part of basketball."
Still, it was a scary moment for the home crowd of 8,105. Carey transferred to Texas in 2002 from Stanford after sitting out two seasons because of recurring symptoms from multiple concussions.
"Anytime there's a collision, there's going to be concern," said Texas coach Jody Conradt. "And we all know Jamie's history."
Heather Schreiber added 23 points for Texas (30-4). The top seed in the West Regional has won 36 in a row at home but now must go to Seattle, where the Longhorns will play Louisiana State.
The Longhorns have reached the round of 16 in each of the last three seasons.
