Two No. 1 seeds, Texas (35-3) and South Carolina (34-3), are set to collide in the Women's NCAA Tournament Final Four on Friday at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
South Carolina holds a 2-1 advantage over the Longhorns this season, including a dominant 64-45 victory in the SEC Tournament final on March 9. Chloe Kitts led the charge with 15 points, earning Tournament MVP honors.
Texas punched its ticket to Tampa with a 58-47 win over TCU, fueled by defensive tenacity and key contributions from Rori Harmon and Madison Booker. South Carolina edged past Duke 54-50 in their last matchup, with Chloe Kitts leading the way, contributing 12 points and three steals to help secure the victory.
The Longhorns are making their first Final Four appearance since 1987, though they have been a fixture in the later rounds, reaching four Elite Eights in the past five seasons.
