A major upset in the NCAA Tournament has significantly impacted TCU women\u2019s basketball\u2019s path to a Final Four.<\/p>\n

The No. 3 seed Horned Frogs (31-5) will face No. 10 seed Virginia (22-11) at 6:30 p.m. Saturday in the Sweet 16 in Sacramento, California, after the Cavaliers upset No. 2 Iowa<\/a> 83-75 in double overtime on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Horned Frogs narrowly avoided a similar fate late Sunday<\/a> when they pulled off a second-half comeback to defeat No. 6 seed Washington<\/a> 62-59 in overtime at Schollmaier Arena.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the second straight appearance in the Sweet 16 for the Horned Frogs after last year\u2019s run to the Elite Eight<\/a>. It will be the Cavaliers\u2019 first trip to the second weekend since 2000. Virginia\u2019s last tournament appearance was in 2018.<\/p>\n

The Cavaliers are the only double-digit seed left in the tournament after beating the Hawkeyes as 13.5-point underdogs Monday. Virginia had to win a First Four game 77-75 over Arizona State just to advance to the first round, then defeated No. 7 seed Georgia 82-73.<\/p>\n

No. 1 South Carolina (33-3) will face No. 4 Oklahoma (26-7) in the other Sacramento 4 regional semifinal. The Gamecocks crushed No. 9 USC 101-61 on Monday, while the Sonners held off No. 5 Michigan State 77-71 on Sunday.<\/p>\n
