AUSTIN, Texas (AP) \u2014 Senior Kyla Oldacre had a career-best 23 points and 11 rebounds, helping No. 2 Texas rout Auburn 97-36 Thursday night.<\/p>\n
The Longhorns (18-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) are off to their best start since 1985-86, when they were NCAA champions, finishing 34-0. Texas has won 36 straight home games.<\/p>\n
The 6-foot-6 Oldacre converted 7 of 8 shots from the field and 9 of 12 free throws. Eight of her 11 rebounds were on offense, helping the Longhorns to outscore Auburn 58-18 in the paint.<\/p>\n
The game matched teams adept at inducing turnovers, Texas 24.7 a game and Auburn 21.7. Auburn forced 25 by Tennessee on Sunday.<\/p>\n
But the turnover competition was overwhelmingly one-sided on Thursday. Auburn committed 26 against Texas\u2019 full- and half-court pressure with the Longhorns turning them into 40 points. Texas committed 13 turnovers.<\/p>\n
Justice Carlton, another interior player for Texas, had 17 points and nine rebounds. Breya Cunningham, who shares the center position with Oldacre, had 15 points and four steals.<\/p>\n
Texas guards contributed as well. Madison Booker had 16 points and seven rebounds, Rori Harmon added 10 points, seven assists and three steals.<\/p>\n
Harissoum Coulibaly led Auburn (11-6, 0-3) with 11 points. The Tigers shot just 29% and were outrebounded 50-19.<\/p>\n
Thanks largely to turnovers, Auburn did not make its first shot from the field until 51 seconds remained in the first quarter. By then, Texas held a 24-1 lead. The period ended with Texas leading 27-5 and Auburn with 11 turnovers and two baskets in seven attempts.<\/p>\n
Harmon led Texas through the second quarter with 10 points in seven minutes, enabling the Longhorns to take a 48-17 halftime lead.<\/p>\n
