Texas pushes past TCU to advance to Final Four

Madison Booker led all scorers with 18 points and Texas used a major run spanning the third and fourth quarters to hold off TCU 58-47 in the Birmingham (Ala.) Region 3 final and advance to the program's first Final Four since 2003 on Monday. The top-seeded Longhorns (35-3) will face SEC rival South Carolina for the fourth time. They split the two-game regular-season series before South Carolina defeated Texas in the SEC championship game. Texas set the defensive tone early, holding TCU without a field goal for the opening 5:33. The No. 2 seed Horned Frogs battled back, however, forcing a tie in the third quarter.
