Mississippi State
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Once Roshunda Johnson hit the tying 3-pointer with seven seconds left in regulation and Teaira McCowan forced a miss on the other end, Mississippi State knew it was in good shape.
"We know we're an overtime team," All-American guard Victoria Vivians said.
Especially in the Final Four.
McCowan had 21 points and a Final Four-record 25 rebounds, Vivians scored 25 points, and Mississippi State reached the national championship game for the second straight year with a 73-63 OT win over Louisville on Friday night.
After Johnson's jumper, Louisville's Myisha Hines-Allen then drove the length of the floor but missed a layup with McCowan defending her.
