BYU Beats Kansas 70-67 to Reach WBIT Final

BYU defeated Kansas 70-67 in the WBIT semifinal to advance to the championship game.

BYU's Olivia Hamlin scored a career-high 23 points off the bench to lead the Cougars past Kansas in a dramatic semifinal. The team overcame an early 8-0 hole to secure the 70-67 victory and a trip to the title game.

Hamlin's clutch scoring in the fourth quarter was pivotal, as she hit back-to-back three-pointers to secure the lead. BYU will now face No. 4-seeded Columbia on Wednesday in Wichita for the WBIT championship.
