UCLA Bruins face the UConn Huskies in Final 4

On Monday night, the Texas Longhorns defeated the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs 58-47 in Birmingham, Alabama, securing their place in the women's NCAA Tournament Final Four, while the UConn Huskies defeated the University of Southern California Trojans 78-64.
Texas' stifling defense and the absence of JuJu Watkins due to injury for USC contributed to their respective victories, propelling both teams to the Final Four.
Madison Booker led Texas with 18 points, while Paige Bueckers led UConn with a game-high 31 points, supported by Sarah Strong's 22 points and 17 rebounds; this marks Texas' first Final Four appearance since 2003 and UConn's record-extending 24th.
Texas coach Vic Schaefer said he has a "ton of experiences to draw from and learn from," and Rori Harmon noted her pride in reaching the Final Four after recovering from an ACL injury.
In the Final Four in Tampa, Florida, Texas will face defending champion South Carolina in a semifinal clash on Friday, while UConn, making their 24th Final Four appearance under Geno Auriemma, will face UCLA, the top overall seed.
