PORTLAND, Ore.—Playing on a court with mismatched 3-point lines, Aziaha James was on target from everywhere.

James made a career-high seven 3-pointers and scored 27 points, and third-seeded North Carolina State earned its first trip to the Final Four of the women’s NCAA Tournament since 1998. The Wolfpack beat top-seeded Texas 76–66 on Sunday in a game played with 3-point lines at different distances on opposite ends of the court.
