Game 389 - (4) UCLA women vs. (1) Connecticut
NCAA Tournament regional semifinals
March 25 at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, CT
ESPN
That's consecutive win No. 110 for Connecticut, which advanced to the Elite 8 with an 86-71 victory Saturday afternoon.
Napheesha Collier was fantastic - NCAA Tournament career-high 27 points, 14 rebounds, five assists - Gabby Williams also did a lot of everything (17 points, nine rebounds, six assists) and the Huskies nearly had all five starters in double figures (Kia Nurse scored nine points).
Coach Geno Auriemma tied former Tennessee coach Pat Summitt for the most wins in tournament history (each has 112), and the unbeaten Huskies will look to make Auriemma No. 1 when they play 10th-seeded Oregon in Monday's regional final.
Great night for UCLA's Jordan Canada, who handed out 11 assists to go along with a team-high 20 points before fouling out with a minute to play.

NCAA Tournament second round

The second half was just about UCLA offense at its finest.
Led by the dynamic Lonzo Ball, the Bruins turned a three-point halftime deficit into a 79-67 victory and the program's third Sweet 16 in the last four seasons.
UCLA had a 7-0 run early in the second, made 8-of-10 field goals at one point, and took the lead for good at at the 13 1/2-minute mark on Ball's 3-pointer. The guard handed out nine assists - he leads the country in that category - and also had 18 points and seven rebounds.
UCLA's offense, which is tops nationally in scoring and field goal percentage, shot 63% from the field in the second half & was also remarkably efficient throughout the game (21 assists and just three turnovers).
Aaron Holiday had five of those assists off the bench.
Speaking of the benches, Cincinnati reserve freshman Jarron Cumberland had a really nice night leading the sixth-seeded Bearcats with 15 points on 7-of-13 shooting. Cumberland rebounded his own miss and hit a jumper with about 4 1/2 minutes to go that pulled the Bearcats to within 70-63, but they got no closer.
UCLA will try to reach its first Elite 8 since the program went to three consecutive final fours from 2005-2008.

364 - (3) UCLA vs. (2) Arizona
Pac 12 semifinals
March 10 at T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV
ESPN
I also caught the last overtime and a half of a four-OT win by top seed Cal Bakersfield over fourth-seeded Utah Valley in the WAC semifinals.
Didn't get her name, but the color commentator ended the broadcast with this quote about what these teams put into this game:
"They've put their heart and soul....and sweat....and probably tears."
Heart, soul, sweat, and probably tears!
363 - (6) Kansas State vs. (2) West Virginia
Big 12 semifinals
March 10 at Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO
ESPN
Somehow West Virginia was able to make just 16 of its 60 field goal attempts and still win 51-50 to move on to the Big 12 final against fourth-seeded Iowa State.
The Mountaineers will try for their first conference title since the 2009-10 final four team won the Big East.

With an 85-76 victory, UCLA did something it hadn't done in more than 18 years - win at Maples. Jordan Canada scored 25 points and handed out five assists and the Bruins snapped a 16-game losing streak at No. 8 Stanford, winning for the first time since January, 1999.
Monique Billings added 21 points, 15 rebounds (seven on the offensive end) and four blocks and Kari Korver was 5-of-7 from three-point range for No. 15 UCLA, which snapped another 16-game losing streak, beating a ranked team on the road for the first time since November, 2012.
