Ogwumike scores career-high 38, lifts Stanford over Oklahoma and into women's title gameNnemkadi Ogwumike put Stanford ahead early. She kept her team ahead when the game tightened up midway through the second half.
And when things really got dicey in the final minute, she came through yet again.
Ogwumike scored Stanford's first eight points and the final seven - in the last 51.3 seconds - to make sure the Cardinal never trailed on the way to a 73-66 victory over Oklahoma on Sunday night that sent them into the national championship game.
Ogwumike, playing in front of family and friends just three hours from her Houston-area home, scored a career-high 38 points and grabbed 16 rebounds. She also had two assists, a block and a key steal in the final minute to put Stanford in the title game for the second time in three years.
Next up for Stanford (36-1) is UConn or Baylor on Tuesday night. The Cardinal will be seeking their first national championship since 1992.
If UConn advances, as expected, Stanford would get another crack at the only team it has lost to since Jan. 18, 2009, having fallen in last year's Final Four and early this season. It also would be the first title game pitting the top two teams in the final Associated Press regular-season poll since 2003.
An Oklahoma team that never quit this season got within 66-62 and 67-64, yet Stanford kept getting the ball to Ogwumike and she kept delivering.
She scored Stanford's first eight points, then four more during a 13-1 run in the first half. The Sooners (27-11) finally got rolling early in the second half, getting within eight, but Ogwumike answered with eight points during a 12-4 spurt.
Danielle Robinson led the Sooners with 23 points and Abi Olajuwon - playing in front of her father, Hakeem Olajuwon, for the first time in her four-year college career - had 12 points and nine rebounds.

Spartans' Lucas watching from bench
Michigan State point guard Kalin Lucas is on the bench in warmups, his left leg in a walking boot. Last year's Big Ten player of the year ruptured his Achilles' tendon in the second round against Maryland, a blow made even worse because Northern Iowa has good guards.
Besides sharpshooter Ali Farokhmanesh, Adam Koch has been hitting everything he throws toward the rim, and Kwadzo Ahelegbe is also perfect from the field.
The Panthers lead 25-20 with about 3 1/2 minutes left in the first half.
-----
Some interesting numbers in the box score from Reliant Stadium. Duke has turned the ball over six times while Purdue has turned it over once, while the Blue Devils have 14 rebounds and the Boilermakers just six.
Nothing else about the game is remotely interesting.
Duke leads the snooze-fest 13-10 with about 9 minutes left, although Purdue's Patrick Bade just picked up his third foul. That could make things a little more intriguing.
-----
Perhaps the Boilermakers and Blue Devils got together before the game and outlined their own set of rules, a bit like a school yard game. You know, first one to 20 points wins?
Purdue went 6 minutes without making a field goal, Duke has been just as terrible on offense, and the two teams combined to go 5 of 24 from the field.
Then again, maybe 20 points will be a stretch for both of these guys.
-----
How nice is Michigan State coach Tom Izzo? He just told one of the officials "excuse me" for getting in the way along the sideline.
Sharing must go along with that polite demeanor, because his Spartans have six assists on their first six field goals. They lead 16-14 with about 9 minutes left in the first half.
-----
Matt Painter better get back to fundamentals during the first media timeout - as in, shots that don't hit the iron don't have much of a chance of going in.
His Boilermakers have more airballs (3) than field goals (2) in the first 5 minutes against top-seeded Duke, and are fortunate to be only trailing 6-4. That's because the Blue Devils have been just as bad on offense, with both teams hitting two of their first nine shots.
Egads. These guys are playing for a spot in the final eight?
-----
Ali Farokhmanesh was the guy who hit the key 3-pointer, made the big-time free throws, earned the cover of Sports Illustrated this week.
His running mate Adam Koch must have been a little bit jealous.
The Northern Iowa guard started 4 for 4 from the field and has nine early points, as the Panthers jumped out to a quick lead over Michigan State. Every point is critical in a game involving the Panthers, who would prefer the final score to resemble a football game.
Which makes sense. They play sort of like a football team.
-----
Here's what qualifies as a slump for a program like Duke: It hasn't been to the round of eight in the NCAA tournament since 2004.
Talk about great expectations.
The school with the best all-time winning percentage in the NCAA tournament will try to break its slide against fourth-seeded Purdue, a team that most pundits didn't expect to escape the first round versus Siena, much less make it to Houston.
Although the Blue Devils are the bluebloods, Purdue has never been to the Final Four since the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985. The Boilermakers are back in the regional semifinals for the second straight year, but haven't advanced to the round of eight since 2000.
-----
Northern Iowa's linebacker of a sixth man Lucas O'Rear has a black brace on his left wrist that looks like the tape underneath a boxing glove.
The way he plays, don't be surprised if it isn't.
The physical Panthers defense is already causing problems for Michigan State, which went the first 3-plus minutes without scoring. Plenty of UNI fans have made the trip south from Cedar Falls to St. Louis, and they were loving the early 7-0 lead.
-----
How about this for a cosmic joke: Thirty-one years to the day after Magic Johnson and Michigan State beat Larry Bird and Indiana State for the national championship, the Spartans are playing another Missouri Valley team in a regional semifinal.
Oh, and Johnson is on hand to see the game.
Rather than Indiana State, though, it will be giant-killer Northern Iowa taking on fifth-seeded Michigan State. The winner gets a date with sixth-seeded Tennessee on Saturday.
The Panthers and March miracle-worker Ali Farokhmanesh may be new to most fans' radar, but they have quite the postseason pedigree. They made three straight NCAA tournament appearances beginning in 2004, then got back to the tournament last season, before the charmed run this year that includes a victory against overall No. 1 seed Kansas.
Now they'll try to knock off a coach and team that is in the round of 16 for the third consecutive year and the ninth time in 13 seasons, despite a rash of injuries.
Among them was a season-ending Achilles' injury to star Kalin Lucas in a dramatic victory over Maryland that allowed the Spartans to advance to St. Louis. Korie Lucious will be called on to help replace the contributions from Michigan State's leading scorer.
-----
Baylor's road to redemption is rolling right through Houston, and the Bears will now have the chance to see whether it ends in Indianapolis.
The school that just seven years ago was embroiled in controversy has knocked off 10th-seeded Saint Mary's 72-49, earning a shot against top-seeded Duke or Purdue in the South Regional final. The winner of that game gets a spot in the Final Four.
The Bears pushed their school record for wins in a season to 28, behind 28 points from LaceDarius Dunn and an exemplary all-around effort from Tweety Carter. Coach Scott Drew, the man behind the reclamation project, couldn't help but smile in the closing minutes as his father Homer Drew - the Homer Drew of Valpo fame - watched on from the stands.
The glass slipper finally shattered for Omar Samhan and Saint Mary's, the tiny school from Moraga, Calif., that showed last week it could play with the big boys.
Samhan finished with 15 points and nine rebounds, but most of those came when the game was already out of hand. Ben Allen led the way with 16 points and seven boards for the Gaels.
-----
Bobby Maze might as well have been kissing Ohio State goodbye.
The Tennessee guard blew a kiss to someone in the stands before hitting two free throws with 12.9 seconds left, and J.P. Prince blocked Evan Turner's desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer to preserve the Vols' 76-73 victory in the Midwest Regional.
Tennessee had come up short in five previous regional semifinals, including a loss to the Buckeyes in 2007, when Ohio State went all the way to the national title game.
This time the Vols came up with a couple of critical turnovers in the closing minutes. Behind 22 points and 11 rebounds from Wayne Chism, Tennessee has assured itself a date with Northern Iowa or Michigan State for a spot at the Final Four in Indianapolis.
Turner finished with 31 points, seven rebounds and five assists in his typical brilliant performance, but he couldn't come through when it mattered most. He missed a tightly guarded 3-pointer from the corner in the closing seconds, then had his off-balance shot stuffed by Prince at the top of the key as the final horn sounded.
Welcome to the round of eight, Tennessee. It's nice to meet you.
-----
Anything you can do, I can do better: Tennessee responded with a little defense of its own, with J.P. Prince anticipating a pass and picking it off on the perimeter.
Wayne Chism scored to give the Vols a 72-70 lead, and Bobby Maze followed with another steal to give Tennessee the ball. He wisely slowed it up despite having numbers on the break, but the Vols couldn't score.
Evan Turner could.
His bucket put Ohio State back ahead, and after Brian Williams answered to regain the lead, Maze is at the foul line with 12.9 seconds left.
-----
The Buckeyes are ramping up the defense, first with brutally efficient man-to-man in the halfcourt and then with a three-quarter court press that forced a 10-second call.
David Lighty followed the first stand with a jumper, then hit a 3-pointer after the turnover to give the Buckeyes a 70-68 lead with just over 2 minutes remaining.
-----
As bad as things have been for Saint Mary's, the score could be even more lopsided if Ben Allen didn't show up. He's 6 of 10 from the field and has scored 14 points, or, just under half of his entire team's total.
The Gaels picked a poor time to shoot 32 percent from the field and 26 percent from beyond the arc. Baylor is on cruise control already, and LaceDarius Dunn just knocked down his fourth 3-pointer of the game, giving him 23 points.
-----
The "Cookie Monster" is really starting to chow down on Saint Mary's.
Hidden from the glaring spotlight that is always attracted by LaceDarius Dunn and Tweety Carter, Baylor forward Quincy Acey has come alive in the regional semifinals. He's made a couple of emphatic dunks off the bench to help the lead swell to 63-32.
Baylor coach Scott Drew might start thinking about resting Dunn, Carter and the rest of his stars despite about 12 minutes left in the game. It sure looks as though they'll be lacing up the sneakers in less than 48 hours for a regional final against Duke or Purdue.

#5 Butler In A Dogfight
Murray State is looking to knock off another top five seed and bust a few more brackets as the NCAA College Basketball Tournament scores for Saturday, March 20, 2010 have already given us one major upset. In the early game #10 St. Mary's defeated #2 Villanova as the Gaels ended the Wildcats season with a 75 - 68 victory. A lot of people predicted that upset especially after Villanova did not look strong in their first round overtime win on Thursday.
Now Murray State is trying to become the second double digit seed of the day to advance to the Sweet Sixteen. They #13 seed in the South Bracket took a 26 - 22 lead into halftime over the #5 Butler Bulldogs but are starting to lose their grip. The Racers have started to turn the ball over and the Bulldogs are starting to drain their threes.
The Bulldogs took the lead with about 11 minutes to go in the game and is starting to stretch it out. Butler currently leads 44 - 38 with about eight minutes left. The next few minutes of the game is extremely important for Murray State as they have to make some shots and not let this lead get into double digits.
Score Update #1 - After Butler went on a 9 - 0 run to take an 8 point lead Murray State came out with full court pressure and the Racers went on a 10 - 1 run to retake the lead 48 - 47 with 3:41 left in the game.
Score Update #2 - After the game became tied up at 50 - 50 with about a minute to go Ronald Nored of Butler hit a huge running layup and drew the foul. He knocked down the free throw to give the Bulldogs a 53 - 50 lead. There's 25.4 seconds left and Murray State has the ball.
Final Score Update - Butler survives to advance to the Sweet Sixteen. Final score is 54 - 52. They will face the winner of the Syracuse and Gonzaga game which goes off on Sunday at 12:10 p.m. ET.

Wall scores 23 in helping No. 2 Kentucky overcome layoff, down Alabama 73-67 to open SEC playJohn Wall had 23 points, including seven straight in the second half to give the Wildcats the lead for good, and No. 2 Kentucky overcame an 11-point deficit Friday in beating Alabama 73-67 in the Southeastern Conference tournament quarterfinals.

Freedom Hall gets fitting farewell
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Two hours after the final horn, fans still milled about Freedom Hall. Some posed for pictures on the court, some sought autographs from former players while others just sat in the lower-level seats, soaking it all in.
Louisville public address man Sean Moth had to make a couple announcements politely asking people to go home. Who could blame them, however, for wanting to stick around just a bit longer?
Freedom Hall isn't going anywhere, but the team that defined the building's legacy is. Louisville pulled out every conceivable stop in recognizing its last game before moving to a downtown arena. Scores of stars from the past gave speeches during timeouts, halftime and after the game. Heck, even some of the best-known fans in the crowd heard their names called out on the video board for their years of support.
Truth is, few moments in the arena's 54-year, tradition-rich history could surpass what transpired on Saturday. Freedom Hall will be remembered more for the games played there than any unique architectural feature, and the Cardinals added to the atmosphere by upsetting No. 1 Syracuse 78-68.
"It couldn't have been any better," said hometown legend Darrell Griffith, who led the program to its first NCAA title in 1980. "That was a great sendoff."
The final crowd was officially listed at 20,135, breaking the arena record. Parking lots were jammed a good three hours before the game, and hundreds of fans stood in line for a pre-game autograph session with ex-players. The queue snaked around one entire side of the building, up two ramps and into a hot, stuffed ballroom.
Seven former All-Americans, most of the 1980 and 1986 championship teams and Hall of Fame coach Denny Crum came back to celebrate the occasion. They returned the love that was showered upon them.
"One of the reasons we had success was the fans were so supportive," said 1986 Final Four MVP Pervis Ellison, who made a rare appearance back at his former school. "You always had the feeling that you had the ability to speak to anybody in the stands.
"We did win, and that helped. But even during the bad seasons, there were sellout crowds. It helps being the only ticket in town, and these fans love their basketball."
Freedom Hall has never had much of a student presence and usually boasts more of a pro-style crowd comprised of long-time season ticket holders. On Saturday, though, fans came early, wore red in unison and stood throughout most of the game.
Rick Pitino broke out a bright red blazer that could have come out of Crum's closet in 1984. The Louisville coach said he "never felt as much pressure to win a game" as he did Saturday before all the luminaries, not even in his two NCAA title game appearances.
Louisville -- which needed to win to secure an at-large NCAA tournament bid -- pulled away late, leading by as much as 14 at one point as the building rocked. And then something foreign to these parts happened.
Point guard Edgar Sosa ran around in the final minute urging fans to storm the court after the victory, and though security guards tried to stop fans from doing so, several dozen made it onto the floor anyway, lifting Sosa on their shoulders. Blue-blood fan bases like Louisville, Kentucky and North Carolina see it as beneath themselves to rush the court. But, hey, it was a special occasion.
Sosa said he was jealous of seeing other schools swarmed by fans all the time on "SportsCenter," and he wanted to experience it himself before his career ended. Yet he also knows that others envy his privilege of playing for four years at Freedom Hall.
"It doesn't matter who you play, whether it's the number one team in the country or a team like Georgetown College in an exhibition game, the fans are always here," Sosa said. "This is definitely the way to go out."
Pitino wanted Crum to have the final words on the court that bears his name. But after Crum said a few words, a microphone kept getting passed to player after player, even winding up in the hands of a former 1990s walk-on at one point.
Fans walked onto the court to get pictures and autographs, while others tried for bolder mementos -- somebody swiped the Section 317 sign from the wall, while security had to stop others from clearing out furniture from a luxury suite. Sosa said the players were told not to take anything from the locker room, but equipment manager Vinny Tatum promised them some sort of souvenir in the future.
The final official act arrived at Freedom Hall with the traditional playing of "My Old Kentucky Home." As far as swan songs go, this one hit all the right notes.

Second straight upset for ND
Another game without Luke Harangody was no problem for the Irish. Ben Hansbrough made sure of that.
The senior guard scored 21 points and Notre Dame knocked off No. 11 Georgetown 78-64 on the road Saturday, its second straight win against a ranked opponent and another step in its late-season push for the NCAA Tournament.
The Irish (19-10, 8-8 Big East) followed their dominating game against No. 12 Pittsburgh Wednesday with another good offensive performance. The win moved them to eighth place in the Big East, in position - for now - to get a first-round bye in the conference tournament.
"We've had guys that stepped up and are playing really well together," said Hansbrough. "Nobody really cares how many points, we're just all trying to win together. I think that's a rarity in college basketball."
The Hoyas (19-8, 9-7) could not keep up with the Irish on the boards, even with Harangody still sidelined because of a bone bruise to his knee suffered on Feb. 11 against Seton Hall. Notre Dame had 26 rebounds, 10 of them offensive, compared to Georgetown's 15 total rebounds.
"I think we were really fighting the whole night trying to get in position, not accepting block outs," junior forward Tim Abromaitis said.
Abromaitis scored 19 points. Junior forward Carleton Scott had 17 points and nine rebounds, four of them offensive.
Georgetown junior guard Austin Freeman, who averages 17 points per game, did not start for the Hoyas because of an illness. He played, but scored only five points.
Notre Dame trailed 4-3 three minutes into the game, then took the lead for the rest of the first half. The Irish pulled ahead 11-4 and 21-14, but Jason Clark hit a 3-pointer to pull Georgetown within three with 7:23 left in the first half.
In the second half, a Hansbrough 3-pointer gave Notre Dame a 41-30 lead with 17:18 remaining, and two layups from freshman forward Jack Cooley put Notre Dame ahead by 12. Then a Georgetown 8-0 run pulled the score to 50-46 with 8:40 left.
But senior guard Tory Jackson hit a 3-pointer to widen the lead to seven, Scott followed with another and Hansbrough hit a third after Scott scrambled for a loose ball to give Notre Dame a 59-49 lead with 5:21 left.
"Looking up at the scoreboard and seeing you're up seven instead of four, that's huge," Hansbrough said. "We locked up and we played on the defensive end as well."
Hansbrough stole the ball on the next possession and was fouled as he made the layup, then sank the free throw to give Notre Dame a 13-point lead. The play capped a 12-3 Irish run.
Abromaitis was fouled taking a 3-point shot and the 88-percent free throw shooter made all three, giving Notre Dame a 65-49 lead with 4:08 to play.
"All season long we've known that we can compete with the best teams out there," Abromaitis said. "It's really big to have this confidence and try to carry this forward."
