The 2025 Women’s Final Four field is set after No. 2 seed UConn took care of No. 1 seed USC 78-64 on Monday night to win the final Elite Eight matchup.
Paige Buckers led the way for UConn with 31 points while freshman Sarah Strong posted 22 points and 17 rebounds as the Huskies overwhelmed a USC team playing without star JuJu Watkins, who was lost to a torn ACL earlier in the tournament. UConn is headed to the Final Four for the 24th time in program history.
Earlier Monday, Texas became the third team to advance with a 58-47 victory over TCU.
Texas held TCU to 26.7% shooting as Hailey Van Lith and Sedona Prince struggled immensely. Van Lith went 3 of 15 from the field with seven turnovers, while Prince had just four points and two turnovers. Madison Booker shined for Texas with 18 points, six rebounds and two steals. In its first Final Four since 2003, Texas will take on reigning national champion South Carolina.
South Carolina overcame a sloppy, 16-turnover offensive effort to beat Duke 54-50. The Gamecocks have struggled with Indiana, Maryland and now the Blue Devils in this tournament, causing plenty of concern over whether they’re capable of repeating as national champions despite the offensive limitations.
UCLA, meanwhile, took down a tough LSU team despite a poor offensive showing from Kiki Rice, who finished 1 of 7 for eight points. Rice, whose leadership is invaluable to the Bruins, salvaged her afternoon with eight assists. Flau’jae Johnson was superb in the loss, recording a team-high 28 points on 10 of 17 from the field in the LSU loss.
The Final Four takes place Friday in Tampa, Fla. with the national championship game on April 6.

Munetaka Murakami Signing Soon, Free Agency Flurry & Examining World Baseball Classic USA and DR Rosters
Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-CastThere has been a lot of hype around Japanese superstar slugger Munetaka Murakami, as he was posted this offseason. With his posting nearing expiration, many are wondering which MLB team might make a move for the first baseman, or if there is a chance that he might not sign at all and stay in Japan for next season.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementOn this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the fascinating posting of Murakami and why teams like the New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, and Seattle Mariners, among a few others, could be a suitable fit for his services.

Early Week 16 NFL bets to make right now: Why we believe in the Ravens
On Tuesdays I aim to give a mini-handicapping lesson or takeaway in an introduction before just giving picks. I want to re-emphasize last week’s opening, because these tropes are about to become so pertinent throughout NFL betting the remainder of the season.Motivation and needing to win for a specific playoff outcome are not actionable reasons to place a bet. Even on bad teams that may be out of playoff contention, this is the NFL. Players are trying to win to keep their roster spots for next season, coaches are trying to end the season with momentum and a happy locker room, and general managers want their draft picks to show promise. There are so many examples of teams that need to win and organizations that should probably want to lose, but it doesn’t happen that way. Here are a few:AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementOn […]
Dolphins’ Mike McDaniel says ‘everything is on the table’ regarding potentially benching of QB Tua Tagovailoa
The Miami Dolphins were eliminated from playoff contention on Monday night, as they were defeated by Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, 28-15. The Dolphins entered this prime-time matchup riding a four-game winning streak, but were simply beat down by a better team. The status of starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is again being questioned, as he completed 22 of 28 passes for 253 yards, two touchdowns and an interception on Monday night. The box score doesn't tell the entire story. Tagovailoa's two passing touchdowns came in the fourth quarter when Miami was already trailing by double digits, and the Dolphins went a putrid 2 of 8 on third downs.Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel was asked by reporters on Tuesday if he was considering a quarterback change. McDaniel confirmed he was. "Well I think the quarterback play last night was not good enough, […]

When asked about the position Tuesday, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel hinted at a possible benching for Tagovailoa moving forward.Tagovailoa wound up posting a pretty solid game statistically, but an early interception mired the start.
