NORMAN, Okla. -- Tasha Butts' clutch basket has Tennessee headed to the Final Four -- again.
Butts scored in the lane with 1.7 seconds remaining and the Lady Vols beat Stanford 62-60 Tuesday night to advance to the Final Four for the third straight year.
Butts, guarded by All-American Nicole Powell, spun to her right and threw up a right-hander, which banked off the glass and fell through. Two nights earlier, Butts hit two free throws after a disputed end-of-game call to lift the Lady Vols (30-3) past Baylor in the Midwest Regional semifinals.
"It's unbelievable," said Butts, who led Tennessee with 14 points. "The whole season, we've been put in situations like this and it always seems like I have the ball in my hands. I'm very confident I can make a play for our team."
Ely scored 12 and LaToya Davis had 10 as the Lady Vols advanced to play Southeastern Conference rival LSU in the Final Four on Sunday.
Powell led Stanford (27-7) with 31 points and 10 rebounds, but was the only Cardinal player in double figures.
Minnesota 82, Duke 75
NORFOLK, Va. -- Lindsay Whalen and Minnesota ended Duke's championship dreams. Whalen scored 27 points for seventh-seeded Minnesota in the Golden Gophers' victory over the top-seeded Blue Devils in the Mideast Regional final.
Janel McCarville added 20 points and 18 rebounds for Minnesota (25-8), which had already bounced second-seeded Kansas State and third-seeded Boston College on its run to the Final Four.
Duke (30-4) was turned away in its last bid to win a championship for All-American Alana Beard and fellow senior Iciss Tillis. Beard scored just 10 points on 4-for-14 shooting and was in tears as the game ended.
The Golden Gophers, the lowest seed to play in a Final Four since Arkansas got that far as a ninth seed in 1998, will face Connecticut in New Orleans on Sunday.
