The reigning champions are back in the Final Four. No. 1-seeded Stanford beat No. 2 Texas, 59-50, on Sunday to reach its 15th NCAA Tournament semifinals.
The Stanford women’s basketball team celebrates after defeating Texas 59-50 to make it back to the Final Four, its 15th trip to the NCAA Tournament semifinals.
“You’re always happy to go to the Final Four, but sometimes you’re really happy,” Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said. “I’m really happy. It is a great group to be with, they care about each other, they’ll do whatever. Whoever we play — whether it’s Connecticut or N.C. State, we’ll be ready.” “We knew tonight was going to be super physical, and it definitely was,” Lexie Hull said. “It came down to who was grittier.”
The push and pull continued in the fourth, but the Longhorns were never able to get back ahead and replicate their early-season upset. Texas came within 2 points in the final minutes, but continued to be haunted by missed free throws. The Longhorns finished 11 of 20 from the free-throw line.
