The Lady Longhorns are going to the Final Four! Texas beat TCU 58-47 to book a trip to Tampa. This is the Texas women's basketball team's first trip to the Final Four in 22 years. UT will play South Carolina for a fourth time this season in the national semifinal.
The joy from coach Vic Schaefer, Madison Booker, Rori Harmon and the rest of the team was palpable. UT has been one win away from the Final Four three of the past four seasons, only to lose the Elite Eight each time. Schaefer has now made history, becoming just the fifth coach to lead two different teams to the Final Four. The 64-year-old took Mississippi State to the Final Four twice.
The win was special for Harmon. The point guard battle back from a bad ACL injury last season that took her out of action for 11 months.
Check out some of the best video, interviews and reactions to the Longhorns' big night.
