South Carolina & Stanford Punch Tickets to Women’s Final Four With 2 Games to Go

The women’s NCAA Tournament has half of its Final Four set after Sunday’s action went the way of the 1-seeds. 10-seed Creighton saw its dream run come to a vicious halt at the hands of the top-ranked Gamecocks, and South Carolina is heading back to the Final Four. In the nightcap, Stanford overcame foul trouble and poor shooting early on to hold off Texas behind 38 combined points from Lexie Hull (20) and Haley Jones (18). The first two tickets to Minneapolis have been punched, but two more games — and two more 1-seeds — take the stage tonight.
