PORTLAND — Two programs looking to take the next step will meet Sunday in Moda Center, and only one can be successful.
For two years, Mississippi State has been pursuing "unfinished business;" the Bulldogs lost in the 2017 NCAA Tournament championship game, made it back in 2018 and lost again. They'll play for another trip to the Final Four on Saturday against an Oregon women's team similarly looking to take another step in its development.
In the Elite Eight for the third straight year, the UO women will try to make their first Final Four when they face Portland Region No.
