The Final Four teams are set for the NCAA Tournament, and Texas women’s basketball will play South Carolina for the fourth time this season.
In the Selection Sunday broadcast, ESPN analyst Rebecca Lobo noted — about a week removed from the SEC tournament — “when you are playing each other for a third time, the basketball tends to be not the prettiest because the teams know each other so well.”

To get to its fourth Final Four in program history, Texas beat No. 16 William & Mary and No. 8 Illinois in the first two rounds before beating Tennessee 67-59 in the Sweet 16 and TCU 58-47 in the Elite Eight.
