— Jordin Canada scored 22 points, putting second-seeded UCLA on her back in the fourth quarter, and the Bruins beat Texas 84-75 on Friday night to avenge a Sweet 16 loss to the Longhorns two years ago. They finally made it to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament after falling a game short the past two seasons. 3 seed Longhorns (28-7), who kept falling into deep holes, slowly digging their way out and then letting UCLA pull away once more. But Burke answered with a layup for UCLA, and Canada’s jumper with just under a minute to go helped put the game away. The Bruins can top that by knocking off the Bulldogs, who breezed past fourth-seeded North Carolina State on Friday night.
