Yet the Cardinals are the team in this year’s quartet of powerhouses that has gener- ally been the most overlooked, a reminder of the oligarchy still lingering in a sport seeing more parity every season. No college coach, of course, would ever pass up an opening to play the underdog role. Walz recounted hearing on a talk show this week that the Con- necticut-Stanford winner was bound to face South Carolina in the NCAA championship Sunday night, causing him to jokingly wonder if the host mistakenly figured the semifi- nals only featured three teams. “We actually have four, and we’re the fourth,” Walz said. Final Four Continued from B3 Auriemma’s Huskies came away with the 87-60 victory and went on to win their first national championship. They have won a record 10 more since then. Stanford returned to the Final Four 10 more times before winning the team’s third national champi- onship last year. No one on either team has played against the other in col- lege. The two programs played at least once every year from 2007-2014 and then again in 2017. They haven’t played since. “Always had great games with them. Some have been close and some have not been close,” Auriemma said. “I think like us they haven’t changed much over the years. They play the same style of play. When you watch them you know what you’re going to get. … It’s the same Stanford Louisville, one of three No. 1 seeds in the 68-team field to make it to Minneapolis, plays No. 1 overall seed South Caro- lina in the first game at Target Center on Friday night. “At least let’s roll the balls out and let’s see what happens,” Walz said. “They might end up being true, but I’d give us a fighting shot at it.” The Cardinals (29-4) will present plenty of challenges for the Gamecocks (33-2), starting with guard Hailey Van Lith, as intense a player as there is in this tournament, and forward Emily Engstler, a disruptive force on defense who can put the ball in the basket, too. “If they want to sleep, let them sleep. We’ll come in and do us, and we’re going to do us to the best of our ability,” said Van Lith, who has hit the 20-point mark in all four tour- nament games. South Carolina has also been to four Final Fours in 14 years under coach Dawn Sta- ley, but the Gamecocks won the 2017 title. That’s one rea- team I remember 27 years ago playing them out here. It’s just different people.” Stanford’s Haley Jones re- members growing up and watching the Cardinal play UConn. She said she is glad to be part of the matchup. “I think the UConn-Stan- ford king of bi-coastal rivalry is a longstanding tradition,” she said. “I think each pro- gram you have Hall of Fame coaches, the two winningest coaches of all-time. All these All-Americans, Olympians, WNBA players come from both these programs. So to be a part of it is huge.” Stanford is two victories away from repeating as NCAA champion. The NCAA hasn’t had a re- peat champion since UConn won four straight from 2013- 16. The Huskies haven’t reached the title game since 2016, losing in heartbreaking fashion a few times since then. eric Gay/ap Louisville’s Hailey Van Lith practices Thursday ahead of the Women’s Final Four in Minneapolis. son for the prominence gap, however slight, between the two programs. “I hear people say, ‘What are you going to do to get over the hump?’ What hump is there to get over, besides winning a national championship?” Walz said Thursday. “I know it would be wonderful, but we’re not going to define the past 15 years on one game.” Homecoming UConn sophomore star Paige Bueckers grew up 10 miles from Minneapolis and will have many friends and family at the game on Friday night. She isn’t worried about it being a distraction. “I’m obviously super grate- ful to be home, but it doesn’t matter the location, where it is, we’re all excited to be at the Final Four and keep playing,” she said. “I’m hoping to see a lot of Minnesota basketball fans because it’s an awesome experience and opportunity for the state.” Recovering Husky Dorka Juhasz had surgery on her left wrist Wednesday, two days after she had frac- tured it in the Huskies’ dou- ble-OT win over N.C. State in the regional final. “She’s in that state where everything is fine, everything is happy and making nothing but happy talk,” Auriemma Walz is one of 11 coaches all-time to reach four or more Final Fours. “I’m pretty damn proud of what we’ve done here, and we’re going to continue it,” Walz said. Painful memory The Gamecocks were the No. 1 team in the AP Top 25 poll from start to finish, with said. “But once it wears off this afternoon, it’s going to be a different Dorka.” Auriemma said they are hoping to have Juhasz in Min- neapolis for the game Friday. He also said she’ll return for another season next year in- stead of potentially turning pro. “I always expected she was coming back. One big reason she came to UConn is to expe- rience something like this,” he said. “It was taken away from her. I think she’s coming to hopefully be in the same situ- ation, but actually playing in- stead of watching.” She said it “I call it hot dogs for the girls and steak for the boys. It will be a great time when you don’t need Title IX, but unfor- tunately in our world, there’s discrimination still against people, women and we need to keep battling,” VanDerveer said. AP Player of the Year Aliyah Boston leading the way, but they’re carrying ample moti- vation of their own after the way they lost last year to even- tual champion Stanford in the semifinals. Trailing by one point in the waning seconds, Boston turned a midcourt steal into a pass to Brea Beal, whose shot bounced off the rim. Boston grabbed the rebound, but her putback at the buzzer was also off the mark. “Good, bad, or indifferent, it’s a part of who we are, like it was supposed to happen,” Sta- ley said. “But we’re not really motivated by that. We’re moti- vated by what we’ve been able to do this year and the habits that we’ve been able to cre- ate and perform night in and night out, and we just hope that our habits are much stron- ger than our opponents on any given day.” Much like Stanford and UConn, the best programs stay that way by emphasiz- ing the quality of the process rather than obsessing over the result. “Whoever it is that’s stand- ing, the last team that’s stand- ing on Sunday night, it’s divine order. I truly believe that. So if it’s not us, it’s not us. We’ll get another shot at it when it’s our turn,” Staley said. Shipping up to Boston Boston, the 6-foot-5 for- ward, poses the same type of daunting matchup that Walz and his Cardinals team nine years ago faced against Bay- lor and star Brittney Griner in their upset of the prohibitive favorite in the Sweet 16. Louis- ville was runner-up to UConn in 2013. “We know we’re going to have to make sure we’re fo- cused on her and know where she is at all times, but she’s also got pretty good teammates she’s playing with,” Walz said. “So we’ll have a plan for to- morrow night, and then if plan A doesn’t work, we’ll go to plan B, and then plan C if needed, and there is no plan D.” UConn’s Paige Bueckers shoots during a practice session Thursday ahead of the Wom- en’s Final Four in Minneap- olis.
