Virginia vs TCU

TCU's defense suffocated Virginia in a hard-fought Regional Semifinal matchup, holding the Cavaliers to just 69 points. The Horned Frogs built their largest lead at 15 points and weathered a back-and-forth battle marked by 10 lead changes. A devastating 13-2 run in the second quarter pushed TCU ahead 48-38, and another 8-2 surge in the third quarter extended their cushion to 56-42. Virginia refused to go quietly, mounting pressure down the stretch with clutch buckets from Paris Clark and a strong assist from Kymora Johnson. But Olivia Miles was the difference-maker—converting critical free throws in the final minute before setting up Taylor Bigby's layup with just seven seconds remaining to seal the 79-69 victory. TCU advances to the Elite Eight as the No. 3 seed, holding firm as slight favorites despite Virginia's late-game grit.
