COLLEGE PARK, Md. — It's a line that dates back about two decades, to Maryland's 2006 run to the national title.

“Overtime is our time,” coach Brenda Frese said.

The Terrapins pulled off another extra-period escape Monday, outlasting Alabama 111-108 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Sarah Te-Biasu made a tying 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter, then scored eight of her 26 points in the second OT to help fourth-seeded Maryland advance to the Sweet 16 against South Carolina.

The Terps (25-7) advance to play top-seeded South Carolina, but to get there they had to overcome a career-high 45 points by Alabama's Sarah Ashlee Barker — and a 17-point Crimson Tide lead in the third quarter.

“I think we put on a show for women’s basketball tonight,” Barker said. “I’m very thankful for that. I’m very grateful that I’m in this opportunity and I was able to be part of such a great game like that.”

It was surely the game of the tournament so far, and the only time in four second-round matchups this year that a No. 4 seed was able to take advantage of home court and beat the No. 5 seed. There has never been a Sweet 16 in the women's NCAA Tournament without at least one No. 4 seed.

A roundup of some of Monday’s NCAA Tournament action:

North Carolina 58, West Virginia 47 — Alyssa Ustby scored 16 of her 21 points after halftime to help North Carolina beat West Virginia.

The fifth-year senior's big night included 10 third-quarter points for the third-seeded Tar Heels (29-7), who reached the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2022. North Carolina will face Duke in a regional semifinal in Birmingham, Alabama — the first meeting between the rivals in the women's March Madness bracket.

LSU 101, Florida State 71 — Mikaylah Williams scored 28 points and Aneesah Morrow added 26 points and 11 rebounds, leading Flau’Jae Johnson and LSU to a runaway victory over Florida State.

Sa'Myah Smith had a season-high 20 points and 12 rebounds for LSU (30-5), which blew open what had been a 50-49 game at halftime by outscoring the Seminoles 31-6 in the third quarter. LSU faces N.C. State next.

N.C. State 83, Michigan State 49 — Aziaha James scored 26 points and second-seeded N.C. State made an NCAA Tournament program-record 15 shots from 3-point range in a victory over seventh-seeded Michigan State.

James connected for six 3s and Madison Hayes, who had 17 points, drilled five 3-pointers. Saniya Rivers added 17 points and 11 assists and Zamareya Jones had 12 points for the Wolfpack (28-6).

Oklahoma 96, Iowa 62 — Skylar Vann scored 17 points, Payton Verhulst added 16 and No. 3-seed Oklahoma cruised into the Sweet 16, dispatching No. 6-seed Iowa.

Raegan Beers had 11 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks in just 18 minutes for the Sooners. She helped Oklahoma outrebound the Hawkeyes 64-33. Oklahoma (27-7) will play UConn on Saturday.

Texas 65, Illinois 48 — Madison Booker scored 20 points and No. 1-seed Texas used a smothering defense to earn avictory over No. 8 Illinois on Monday, sending the Longhorns to the Sweet 16 of the women’s NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in the last five seasons.

Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda added 19 points for Texas (33-3), which will meet Southeastern Conference rival No. 5 Tennessee (24-9) on Saturday.
