The Final Four field has finally been set, with South Carolina, UCLA, Texas and UConn heading to Tampa, Florida. This is South Carolina’s fifth straight Final Four appearance. UCLA is making its first trip to the Final Four. For Texas it’s the fourth Final Four appearance and for UConn, it’s the 24th.
Texas punched its ticket to its first Final Four since 2003 with a defensive-oriented win over TCU. Madison Booker and Co. held Hailey Van Lith to 3 of 15 from the field with seven turnovers, and Sedona Prince struggled as well to the tune of only four points and two turnovers. Booker tallied 18 points, six rebounds and two steals in the Elite Eight win.
Reigning national champion South Carolina is also known for its defense, and the Gamecocks advanced to the Final Four with a 54-50 win over Duke. The Gamecocks held the Blue Devils to 31.7% shooting in that game, but offensive woes troubled them again as no South Carolina guard reached double digits in scoring.
UCLA advanced to the Final Four after outlasting a tough LSU team and a 28-point performance from Flau’jae Johnson, who’s still weighing whether she’ll enter the 2025 WNBA Draft or return to college. The Bruins are led by star center Lauren Betts, who swatted away six blocks in the 72-65 win over the Tigers.
While UConn is the lone No. 2 seed in the Final Four, it’s also the winningest program in women’s basketball history with 11 national titles. Geno Auriemma’s team has not won a national title since 2016, but it has been to 15 of the last 16 Final Fours. The Huskies took care of No. 1 seed USC 78-64 behind 31 points from Paige Bueckers as the Trojans played without star JuJu Watkins following her knee injury.
Texas will meet South Carolina in the Final Four, while UCLA will battle UConn.

Notre Dame is hitting its football recruiting stride. Here’s how to keep the momentum going
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Mike Martin said the quiet part out loud when he arrived at Notre Dame, with two decades of NFL experience at his back but none in the realm of high school recruiting. The incoming general manager had tried to recruit undrafted free agents during his run with the Detroit Lions, but that was hardly a parallel to landing a five-star defensive end or a top-100 quarterback prospect.AdvertisementThis was all new. A new position with a new outlook in a new era of high school recruiting, which has always been the priority for Marcus Freeman, even in the transfer portal age. And with the portal now closed for the next seven months, it will be Martin’s recruiting acumen that will get a closer look.“I’ll be the first one to tell you, I don’t have every single answer,” […]
Penguins, 10-year coach Mike Sullivan part ways: What’s next?
The Pittsburgh Penguins and head coach Mike Sullivan have mutually agreed to part ways after a 10-year run that included two Stanley Cup wins.Sullivan departs as the winningest coach in team history — and the NHL’s second-longest tenured coach behind only Tampa Bay’s Jon Cooper — amid the expectation that he’ll only be out of work for as long as he wants to be.AdvertisementHis departure from the Penguins comes at a time when the organization is in transition. The team has missed the playoffs in three consecutive seasons, and management is overhauling the roster in a bid to return to competitiveness before franchise legends Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin enter retirement.In a statement announcing the move, Penguins president and general manager Kyle Dubas said it was a decision not taken lightly, but one they felt “was the best course forward […]

Cincinnati readies to open $134M Sheakley practice facility
CINCINNATI — When Larry Sheakley takes in the new $134 million practice and training facility that now officially bears his family name, he sees more than a sleek state-of-the-art structure. He sees the 2010 Sugar Bowl, and a season in which the Cincinnati Bearcats were a second away from reaching the national championship game. He sees the run to the 2021 Cotton Bowl and four-team College Football Playoff. He sees a lifetime spent rooting for Bearcats athletics and how far the football program has come.Advertisement“I’ve been a fan my whole life,” said Sheakley, 74. “And when you look back at the last 20 years, we’ve played in the Orange Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, the Peach Bowl and then the Cotton Bowl the year we made it to the Playoff. That’s incredible compared to where we were.”It’s why Sheakley and his […]
Casagrande detona defesa de time do Brasileirão: “Muito frágil”
Walter Casagrande subiu o tom contra o desempenho defensivo do time do Corinthians no revés sofrido diante do Flamengo, neste domingo (27), em choque pela 6ª rodada do Brasileirão, no Maracanã. Em texto no UOL Esporte, ele questionou a fragilidade do setor, indicando que o placar poderia ser maior. Na análise feita, o ex-jogador pontuou que a disparidade entre o rubro-negro e o Timão é expressiva, e indicou que, se não ajustar a defesa, a equipe vai sofrer ao longo da temporada. Em 29 jogos disputados neste ano, o alvinegro foi vazado em 33 oportunidades, e figura como a 3ª pior defesa da Série A. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Não tem a mínima comparação técnica entre um time e o outro porque o Flamengo sobra. O Corinthians tem uma defesa muito frágil e, mesmo nas vitórias, o time sofre muito com erros […]
