Women's NCAA Tournament winners, losers: TCU ends Virginia's magical run

Loser: No. 3 Louisville's offensive struggles

The Cardinals could not have asked for a better start against one of the nation's most explosive offenses, but poor shooting kept them from taking advantage of it. Junior forward Elif Istanbulluoglu was the only player in double-figures (18 points) on a team that shot just 35 percent (23-of-65) and was outscored 49-16 from the second quarter to the middle of the fourth.

Winner: Domination from one-seeds

After Connecticut (37-0, 20-0 Big East) and UCLA (34-1, 18-0 Big Ten) used big second-half outings to win their respective Sweet 16 games on Friday, No. 1 seeds Texas (34-3, 13-3 SEC) and South Carolina (34-3, 15-1 SEC) did not waste any time taking control on Saturday.

The Longhorns are onto their third consecutive Elite Eight after a dominant 76-54 win over five-seed Kentucky (25-11, 8-8 SEC). Texas opened up a 29-11 lead after the opening quarter and never looked back, forcing 24 turnovers and assisting on 22 of its 34 made field goals.

The Gamecocks led by as many as 29 against four-seed Oklahoma (26-8, 11-5 SEC) and cruised to a 94-68 win. They were 10-of-14 (71%) from long range and rode the hot hand of senior guard Ta'Niya Latson, who had 28 points (7-of-11 FG, 4-of-4 3PT, 10-of-10 FT).

"That's the Ta'Niya Latson I know," senior guard Raven Johnson told ESPN's Kris Budden after the game. "If she do that every night, I don't see nobody stopping us."

Loser: No. 5 Kentucky's turnovers

Kentucky quickly found itself in an early hole against Texas, and the turnovers proved to be extremely costly. The Wildcats were also doubled-up in the paint, 44-22, but when you consider that seven of the eight Kentucky players had at least two turnovers, that is not the recipe for an upset.

Winner: Back-to-back Elite Eight appearances for No. 3 TCU

Before last season, the Horned Frogs (32-5, 15-3 Big 12) had never made an Elite Eight appearance. After defeating No. 10 Virginia (22-12, 11-7 ACC), 79-69, and ending the Cavaliers' magical run, TCU is in its second straight Elite Eight. Senior forward Marta Suarez (33 points, 10 rebounds) and senior guard Olivia Miles (28 points, 10 rebounds) combined for 61 of the 79 points.

Loser: The end of No. 10 Virginia's historic run

The Cavaliers became the first team to advance to the Sweet 16 from the First Four in the women's NCAA Tournament and even took a one-point lead into the half before TCU established control in the third quarter. They may not be dancing anymore, but they will forever go down in the history books after their unprecedented run.
