Michigan is a contender now against experienced Texas for a spot in the women’s Final Four

By The Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — When Michigan coach Kim Barnes Arico had each of her players bring in a quote that resonates with them, sophomore guard Olivia Olson provided one that truly encapsulates the Wolverines heading into the only women's NCAA Tournament regional final matching the top two seeds. “It goes something like, you had to be a contender before you were a champion. You know, you had to be there before you were on the other side,” the 14th-year Michigan coach said Sunday. “That’s kind of where our program is right now. You know, we’re a contender and we’ve gotten to this point. We have the pieces to be champions. So we are in the Elite Eight with a lot of programs that have rich basketball tradition.” Michigan (28-6) will try to get to its first Final Four when it takes on top-seeded Texas (34-3) in the Fort Worth Regional 3 championship game Monday night. The Longhorns (34-3), who have won their three NCAA Tournament games by an average of more than 35 points, are in their third consecutive regional final under coach Vic Schaefer. They went to the Final Four last year for the first time since 2003, and won their only national title with a 34-0 record in 1986.
