A marquee matchup of two women's college basketball powers is the feature attraction Monday night in Spokane, Washington, when the top-seeded Southern Cal takes on second-seeded Connecticut for a spot in the Final Four.
The Women of Troy continue to survive and advance, despite the loss of star guard JuJu Watkins to a season-ending knee injury in a second-round win over Mississippi State. Freshmen Kennedy Smith (19 points) and Avery Howell (18) led the way as USC defeated Kansas State 67-61 to advance to the Regional 4 final.
The Huskies, meanwhile, got a career-high 40 points from Paige Bueckers in cruising to an 82-59 defeat of No. 3 seed Oklahoma. This marks the 18th time in the last 19 seasons that coach Geno Auriemma's squad has reached the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight.
