The top-ranked Louisville Cardinals (29–4) of the Wichita region advanced to the NCAA Final Four in women’s basketball, defeating the Michigan Wolverines (25–7) on Monday night 62–50 to reach their fourth Final Four in the team’s history.

During his 15 years at Louisville, coach Jeff Walz has taken the Lady Cardinals from a mediocre program to the Final Four in 2009, 2013, 2018, and 2022. Louisville is consistently among the highest in attendance, and reached the finals in 2009, and 2013, but lost both times.
