Appearances
I know I dreamed of this when I was growing up, playing in the Final Four, competing for a national championship.
In the West Regional, Arizona defeated Purdue 79-64 to reach the Final Four for the first time since 2001.

Notre Dame point guard Hannah Hidalgo was the floor leader.
She scored 31 points and added 11 rebounds, but her defensive play was highlighted by her steals.
With 10 in the game, Hidalgo set an NCAA tournament record with 26 in three games so far.
Meanwhile, the two number one seeds playing on Friday stepped toward their respective regional finals with victories as UConn downed North Carolina 63-42 and UCLA was an 80-56 winner over Minnesota.

From the outside, it appeared that everything was set up for the Houston Cougars to advance to the men's Final Four, a No.

Lincoln, Nebraska native Braden Frager scored on a layup with two seconds left in the game for the 74-72 victory, but the vocal Huskers fans held their collective breath on a half-court shot by Vanderbilt guard Tyler Tanner.
The Cornhuskers, meanwhile, are in the midst of their most successful season and heading to Houston for the South Regional Semifinal.
The biggest upset of the day was the elimination of Gonzaga, a No.
3 seed, after a 74-68 loss to the Texas Longhorns.
