MOBILE, Ala. – The University of South Alabama women's basketball team (21-12) defeated Furman (18-14), 54-53, in a game that came down to the wire, to advance to the Women's Basketball Invitational Final Four Monday at the Mitchell Center.

With the Jags up by three and 2:32 to go, the Paladins went on a 7-0 run to lead by four with 51 ticks on the clock. Chyna Ellis hit a three-pointer and got fouled 41 seconds, but missed the free-throw to tie the game on the and-one opportunity on the Jags next possession to pull within one.
