GLENDALE, Ariz., March 28 (UPI) -- Kemba Walker scored 23 points Saturday to lead Connecticut to another Final Four berth with an 82-75 win over Missouri in the NCAA West Regional Final.

A.J. Price added with 18 points and Stanley Robinson scored 13 for the top-seeded Huskies (31-4), who seek their third national title in 11 years.

UConn's last trip to the Final Four was five years ago, when the Huskies beat Georgia Tech in the championship game. The Huskies came out of the West Region both times in winning the national title in 1999 and 2004.

Jeff Adrien had 12 points and 10 rebounds and Hasheem Thabeet had 13 rebounds for the Huskies, who will play the winner of Sunday's Midwest Regional final between Louisville and Michigan State.

Leo Lyons and Matt Lawrence each scored 13 points for the third-seeded Tigers (31-7), who were making their 22nd NCAA Tournament appearance. Missouri has never reached the Final Four.
