The Huskies and Bruins are battling tonight for a spot in Sunday’s national championship game, where South Carolina awaits.  USA TODAY Sports is bringing you live updates, scores, highlights and analysis throughout the game.

Paige Bueckers and UConn easily handled UCLA 85-51 in the Final Four Friday, setting the stage for a matchup with Dawn Staley’s South Carolina.

The Bruins fell short in their first appearance in the NCAA Final Four. UCLA won a national title in 1978 in the pre-NCAA era of women’s basketball. The Bruins were looking to become the first team from the Big Ten, a conference they joined this season, to win a championship since Purdue did it in 1999.
