UCLA vs UConn, South Carolina vs Texas sets stage for Final Four
USA Today's Meghan Hall previews the women's Final Four teams that will be heading down to Tampa to compete for national championship.
Sports Seriously
An inflection point in the women's NCAA Tournament has arrived.
All roads have led to Tampa, Florida, throughout March Madness, and now a seemingly fated fourth matchup between South Carolina and Texas will take place in the Final Four. Dawn Staley's Gamecocks lead the season series 2-1, but what happens Friday will render the previous three results moot, with a trip to the national championship on the line for both sides.

For South Carolina, an uneven tournament has nevertheless led it to its fifth straight Final Four appearance.
The lack of a consistent scorer has led to some nail-biters for the Gamecocks, who will turn to Chloe Kitts and SEC Sixth Player of the Year MiLaysia Fulwiley to get some consistent offense against the Longhorns. Texas, meanwhile, will undoubtedly keep leaning on SEC Player of the Year Madison Booker, the 19-year-old phenom who has been a force in the Texas frontcourt for the past two seasons.

David Greenwood, former UCLA star and NBA champion, dies at 68 after cancer battle
Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — David Greenwood, who was one of coach John Wooden's last recruits at UCLA and went on to win an NBA championship with Detroit during a 12-year pro career, has died. He was 68. Greenwood died Sunday in Riverside, California, after battling cancer, the school said Wednesday, citing family members. After a standout career at Verbum Dei High in Los Angeles, Greenwood began his college career at UCLA just months after Wooden's surprise retirement announcement in March 1975. He averaged 14.8 points and 8.7 rebounds in 118 games as a four-year starter in Westwood. The Bruins had a record of 102-17 and won the league title in each of his four seasons. He was a two-time league player of the year who helped the Bruins to the 1976 Final Four. Greenwood earned first-team All-America honors as a junior and senior, becoming UCLA's first player to do so since Bill Walton in 1972-74. He still ranks fourth on the school's career rebounding list. He was the second overall pick in the 1979 NBA draft. The Chicago Bulls lost the coin toss to the Los Angeles Lakers, who drafted future Hall of Famer Magic Johnson at No. 1, having acquired the pick in a trade with New Orleans. Before Michael Jordan arrived in Chicago in 1984, Greenwood, Reggie Theus and Orlando Woolridge were the Bulls' core players. After six seasons, the Bulls traded Greenwood in 1985 to San Antonio in exchange for future Hall of Famer George Gervin. Greenwood also played for San Antonio, Denver and Detroit, coming off the bench to help the Pistons beat Portland to win the 1990 NBA championship. He was a member of the Pac-12 Hall of Honor and the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. Last year, Greenwood attended UCLA's final Pac-12 Conference game at Pauley Pavilion. Greenwood later coached at his high school alma mater, leading Verbum Dei to state titles in 1998 and 1999. He is survived by son Jemil and daughter Tiffany as well as his brother Al, sister Laverne and former wife Joyce. ___ AP college basketball: recommended
