TCU 85, Louisville 70
What happened:

What they're saying:
Head Coach Mark Campbell said all the hard work the ladies put in the gym is paying off.
"It’s just neat to see young people work really hard at their craft and for it to be rewarded in a game like this in a stage like this. It’s awesome," he said.
What's next:
TCU will now face the No. 3 seed Notre Dame for a chance to play in the Elite Eight.
The game is Saturday at Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.
