cards wrap up spring training broadcasts today….they lost a late inning contest sunday..here’s john rooney to lead it off..

it came to an end for the missouri state lady bears yesterday in texas in the sweet 16……
Stanford, the No. 1 overall seed and top seeded team in the Alamo Regional extend it’s winning streak to 17 games with a dominant 89-62 win over No. 5 seed Missouri State. The Cardinal led by 34 at the end of the third quarter and each of the eight Stanford players that scored had at least seven points, paced by Jana Van Gytenbeek’s 17 off the bench. 15 of the 17 games in Stanford’s win streak have come by at least 10 points.

And then, there were eight. On Sunday we found out the other half of the Regional Finals in the 2021 Women’s NCAA Basketball Tournament. After we were assured of Baylor-UConn and Arizona-Indiana Elite Eight matchups on one side of the bracket on Saturday, Sunday brought two more No. 1 seeds closer to a national championship, while another contender bit the dust.

No. 2 seed Maryland, which entered the Sweet 16 as the No. 1 scoring offense in the country at 91.8 points per game, posted their lowest offensive output of the year in a 64-61 loss to No. 6 seed Texas. Four Longhorns were in double-figures scoring led by projected WNBA No. 1 draft pick Charli Collier, who finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds, but it was the Texas defense that stole the show. Maryland was held to 40% shooting — their third worst output of the season. Texas now finds itself in the Elite Eight for the first time since 2016.

The Horns will take on No. 1 Seed South Carolina in the HemisFair Regional final after the Gamecocks took care of No. 5 seed Georgia Tech, 76-65. South Carolina hasn’t lost since Feb. 28, and was led by Zia Cooke (17 points) and Laeticia Amihere (15 points off the bench.

Stanford, the No. 1 overall seed and top seeded team in the Alamo Regional extend it’s winning streak to 17 games with a dominant 89-62 win over No. 5 seed Missouri State. The Cardinal led by 34 at the end of the third quarter and each of the eight Stanford players that scored had at least seven points, paced by Jana Van Gytenbeek’s 17 off the bench. 15 of the 17 games in Stanford’s win streak have come by at least 10 points.

Awaiting Stanford in the the Elite Eight is No. 2 seed Louisville which toppled No. 6 seed Oregon 60-42.

**

UCLA’s magic March run continued in thrilling fashion on Sunday night as the No. 11 seed Bruins managed to outlast No. 2 seed Alabama 88-78 in overtime during a classic Sweet 16 matchup.
The only other team to reach the Elite Eight after playing in the First Four was VCU in 2011.
*
three of the four. No. 1 seeds are still standing for the Elite Eight. Gonzaga and Michigan did not just merely advance on Sunday but actually dominated quality foes to keep their special seasons afloat. With fellow No. 1 seed Baylor also in the Elite Eight, this NCAA Tournament has proven just how dominant that trio has been at the top of the sport this season.

The three appeared destined to secure No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament for weeks before Selection Sunday, and they all employ similar formulas.
