GREENVILLE, S.C. — The NCAA tournament puts players into the most pressure-packed situations of their careers. It happened to two players in the final 10 seconds of No.

3 seed LSU's 66-63 win over No. 2 seed Utah in the Greenville 2 regional semifinal Friday night. LSU fifth-year senior Alexis Morris made all four of her free throws.

Utah sophomore Jenna Johnson missed both of hers, and the Tigers move on to face No. 9 seed Miami in an unexpected women's basketball regional final Sunday.

The dramatic win puts second-year coach Kim Mulkey in position to make the women's Final Four with a third program. She made it that far as a player and an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech, winning two NCAA titles, and as a head coach at Baylor, winning three titles.
