If you thought women's college basketball was done thrilling us this weekend, think again.

Less than 24 hours after Mississippi State's sensational Final Four upset of No. 1 UConn at the buzzer, Michigan was propelled to a WNIT title by a clutch shot from Katelynn Flaherty late in regulation against Georgia Tech. The Wolverines pulled away in triple overtime for the 89-79 victory in the longest game in program history. It was also the first postseason title in program history.
