🎓🏀 Women’s March Madness: We’ve been waiting for this one
The GIST: Record-breaking attendance? Check. More parity than ever? Check. Here’s to even more growth when the first four women’s Sweet 16 games tip off tonight before four more tomorrow. To the moon, baby.
Today’s can’t-miss games: In the Greensboro region, it’ll be a heated all-Carolina battle when №1 South Carolina faces №5 UNC tonight at 7 p.m. ET. Dawn Staley’s top-seeded Gamecocks are the team to beat, but UNC has already played spoiler, routing №4 Arizona (last year’s finalists) in the second round.
- Over in the Spokane region, defending champs â„–1 Stanford square off against â„–4 Maryland at 9:30 p.m. ET. Both squads have dominated through the first two rounds, so expect plenty of offense tonight.
Tomorrow’s can’t-miss games: In the Bridgeport region, we’ll be locked on №2 UConn vs. №3 Indiana tomorrow at 2 p.m. ET. UConn’s Paige “Buckets” Bueckers vs. Indiana’s Grace “Big Time” Berger? Say less.
- The Wichita region’s must-see matchup features two powerhouses in №1 Louisville and №4 Tennessee. Louisville looks unstoppable, but don’t count out the Vols, who are looking for their first Elite Eight appearance since 2016. Turn it up.
