S. Dakota St. holds on to upset Miami
Howard's tourney-record 27 rebounds lift Texas A&M
Macy Miller and Gabby Boever combined for three free throws over the final 35.6 seconds to bail out their teammates' poor shooting late at the line, and No. 12 seed South Dakota State stunned fifth-seeded Miami, 74-71, in the first round of the NCAA women's basketball tournament Saturday in Stanford, Calif.
Miller finished with 18 points, while Madison Guebert scored 19 points and matched an NCAA program best with five 3-pointers as the Jackrabbits (27-6) survived despite their second-half struggles with the Hurricanes' trapping full-court press and 22 turnovers.
Adrienne Motley scored 19 points for Miami (24-9).
Before the game, the Aggies (22-9) suspended Walker, who averages 12.5 points per game, and Shlonte Allen indefinitely for a violation of team rules.
Cunningham scored 16 points in the third quarter as Missouri built an 11-point lead then held on down the stretch after BYU got within 62-60 in the fourth.
Talia Walton added 18 points for Washington (23-10), which will face host Maryland on Monday in the second round of the Lexington regional.
The Quakers (24-5) led 25-24 at halftime in their bid to become only the third Ivy League school to win a game in the history of the women's tournament.
The Huskies have won 70 consecutive games, which is tied for the second-longest winning streak in team and NCAA history.
