Katie Hempen had 22 points for the third-seeded Sun Devils (29-6), who had a chance to win it at the buzzer after Florida State's Emiah Bingley missed the front end of a one-and-one with 5.2 seconds remaining. Leticia Romero scored a career-high 21 points, Bulgak had 15 points and Conwright added 11 to send the second-seeded Seminoles (32-4) to the Greensboro Regional final. Sophie Brunner finished with 11 points while Promise Amukamara — the team's lone senior and best lockdown defender — had 10 before fouling out with 2:11 to play. Hempen failed to draw iron with a go-ahead 3 with about 40 seconds remaining and Romero knocked down a short jumper with 20.6 seconds left to make it 66-62. The Sun Devils seemed disoriented on their next trip, running much of the clock before Elisha Davis made it a one-point game with a 3 with 6.5 seconds left. [...] the Seminoles got the last defensive stop they needed to sew up their first Elite Eight appearance since 2010. Hempen was fouled while shooting 3s three times and was 9 of 9 from the free-throw line in those situations. The Seminoles and top overall seed Connecticut are the only teams left in the tournament who have five players averaging double figures.
