Women Fall, Final Four Set

By Hoya Hoops

After leading for most of the game, the Lady Hoyas couldn’t hold on, and fell to the #1 Connecticut Huskies 63-68 in the Sweet Sixteen. When asked about competing with the best in women’s basketball, senior Monica McNutt had this to say, “In case you haven’t noticed, our program is on the rise. We are past the point of moral victories. We should be in the Elite Eight.”
In the men’s tournament, the last of the Hoyas was eliminated this weekend as Vernon Macklin and the Florida Gators lost in overtime to Butler in the Elite Eight, 71-74. Macklin had a career-high 25 points in his final collegiate game.
The Final Four is set with VCU set to face Butler at 6:00 on Saturday, and Kentucky and UCONN squaring off after that.
