TAMPA, Fla. -- The bigger the stage, the better Candice Wiggins performs.

Wiggins continued her electrifying run through the NCAA tournament, scoring 25 points and grabbing 13 rebounds while getting some timely help from Kayla Pederson and JJ Hones as Stanford shocked Connecticut 82-73 in Sunday night's national semifinals.

Back in the Final Four for the first time in 11 years, the Cardinal (35-3) avenged an early season loss to the Huskies (36-2) and advanced to Tuesday night's title game, where they'll put a 23-game winning streak on the line against Tennessee.

Wiggins, the first player to have two 40-point performances in the same NCAA tournament, finished five assists shy of the first triple-double in women's Final Four history.

Tennessee 47, LSU 46

TAMPA, Fla. -- Alexis Hornbuckle's only basket of the game was enough to get Tennessee back in the championship game.

Hornbuckle's putback with seven-tenths of a second left lifted the Lady Vols over LSU in Sunday night's national semifinal. It was the lowest scoring game in Final Four history.

Candace Parker did all she could with her bum shoulder, scoring 13 points and grabbing 15 rebounds to lead the Lady Vols.

Tennessee (35-2) moved within a win of its eighth national championship.

The Lady Vols are looking to become the first repeat champions since Connecticut won three straight titles from 2002-04.

Meanwhile, LSU's Final Four drought continued. The Lady Tigers, who have been a Final Four staple the last five seasons, again failed to make it to the championship game.
