The rematch that some Texas Longhorns fans have been waiting for a year is here. Texas Women's Basketball will take on the Iowa State Cyclones for the Big 12 Women's Basketball title tonight.

The Longhorns and the Cyclones played each other in the 2023 Big 12 Women's Basketball Championship game last season. While it may be a slim chance, the Longhorns are fighting for a number one seed tonight.

Iowa State surprised everyone yesterday by taking out the Oklahoma Sooners. The Cyclones have some talented players who want to take out the Longhorns. Let's look at the preview of the Big 12 Women's Basketball title game tonight.

The Iowa State Cyclones have surprised people in the Big 12 tournament with the play of Freshman center Audi Cooks. She is averaging 18 points and eight rebounds this season. The Longhorns had issues guarding Kansas State's Center in the win over the Wildcats yesterday.

Texas head coach Vic Schaefer is creating a game plan to stop her as I write this article.

Texas Women's Basketball vs. Iowa State Cyclones: Texas Longhorns

If you've been following Texas Women's Basketball this season, you should know who the Longhorns need on their "A-game" tonight. It starts with the Big 12 Freshman of the Year Award Winner, Madison Booker. She got into foul trouble against the Wildcats yesterday.

She needs to play a clean game tonight against the Cyclones if the Longhorns want to win the Big 12 title.

Senior forward Taylor Jones is another player the Longhorns need at their best tonight. Jones committed some ticky-tacky fouls against the Wildcats.

She will need to score more than four points against the Cyclones tonight. Senior forward DeYona Gatson must bring her defensive game against the Cyclones. She disrupted Wildcats Senior center Ayoka Lee yesterday. She must disrupt Cooks's game in the paint tonight.

The Longhorns have a good shot of beating the Cyclones tonight. The Longhorns were victorious in their only matchup with the Cyclones this season. However, the Cyclones are one game from repeating as Big 12 Champions.

The Longhorns must play the best all-around game of the season tonight to win the Big 12 title. Let's hope the Longhorns get their revenge for last year's title loss against the Cyclones tonight.
