USC put up a fight. But ultimately, Paige Bueckers and Sarah Strong — and the absence of JuJu Watkins — proved too much to overcome.
Madness continues Monday night with two women’s Elite Eight games that will determine who is joining South Carolina and UCLA in the Final Four. In the first game, Madison Booker and top-seeded Texas held off TCU for a 58-47 win in the Birmingham Region final.
Bueckers has scored a total of 50 points across those two games, including 28 when UConn defeated USC in the Elite Eight last year to advance to the Final Four. Bueckers has also recorded a total of 13 rebounds and eight assists and has shot 44.4 percent from the field and 35.7 percent from 3-point range against the Trojans.
