12. No. 6 West Virginia vs. No. 3 North Carolina
ET -ESPN February Monday at 7pm
Though we pay homage to the Tar Heels and the climbers, as well as Alyssa Ustby and JJ Quinerly, this game could turn into an absolutely unwavering rock fight. These are two of the best defensive teams in the sport. Both UNC and WVU rank in the top 10 in defensive ratings and in the top 25 in the points allowed per play. Tar Heels allows opponents to shoot only 36.6% off the floor on average. This is ranked 16th in the country. If you like attacking, this game may not be for you.
11. No. 10 Oregon vs. No. 2 Duke
Sunday, 12pm ET – ESPN
For many of the same reasons mentioned above regarding UNC-WVU, the collision between Oregon and Duke could be a game where there are few good attacks and missed shots and turnovers. The ducks and blue devils play a variety of defensive schemes and styles, both of which are very good on the edge of the floor. The wrinkles added to this game are the presence of Deja Kelly, who played for Duke rival North Carolina for four years before joining the duck. She is 5-2 and Duke, Duke, 3-1 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The winner of this game may face tar heels with a sweet 16.
10. No. 5 Ole Miss vs. No. 4 Baylor
Sunday, 4pm (ESPN)
The rebels believed they should play chips on their shoulders and host them as a top 16 species, so they could be playing with something to prove here. One of these fourth seed spots went to Baylor. The game may lack star power, but Madison Scott and Daliana Little Page Bag have been a lot of fun to watch this season, but these coaches rank at the top of their craft at their respective meetings.
9. No. 7 Michigan vs. No. 2 NC
Monday, 12pm ET – ESPN
The Wolfpack held back Vermont and pulled away at the end of Saturday, but Michigan He got a double double from Grace Vansluten, slowing down Harvard Turner enough to defeat Harvard. Another late start could cost NC status against experienced, talented, defensively oriented teams like the Spartans.
8. No.5 Alabama vs. No.4 Maryland
Monday, 5pm EST – ESPN2
If you're looking for potential upsets, this might be one of them. The Terps got off to a late start on Saturday, dragging Norfolk State at halftime to win in double digits. Meanwhile, Alabama shot 47% off the floor and won a rebound battle at age 16 against the tough Green Bay team. Crimson Tide is looking for its first sweet 16 trips since 1998.
7. No. 6 Iowa vs. No. 3 Oklahoma
Monday, 4pm ET – ESPN
Here is a game with star power. Lucy Olsen knocks down three pointers for the Hawkeyes and Ray Gunbeer and works with Sooners paint. Fun fact: Oklahoma coach Jenny Baransik played for Iowa while current head coach Jan Jensen was there as an assistant.
6. No.9 Richmond vs. No.1 UCLA
Sunday, 10pm ET – ESPN
Multimadness will likely finish for the spider in this game, but it's a really fun and talented team that could cause problems for the Bruins. Richmond proved it deserves a massive bid by breaking Georgia Institute of Technology 25 points in the first round behind Maggie Doogan's stellar play. Richmond ranks in the top 25 nationally in both offensive and defensive ratings.
5. No. 5 Tennessee vs. No. 4 Ohio
Sunday, 8pm (ESPN)
If you're looking for a powerful attack from both teams, this is your game. Both Lady Vols and Buckeyes rank in the top 18 nationally in points per game. Ohio I was undefeated on non-meeting play, but no one in the SEC played. Let's see how the Buckeyes do it against Kim Caldwell's team.
4. No. 7 Louisville vs. No. 2 TCU
Sunday, 6pm (ESPN)
TCU Really good, and this is a bit of a rebuilding year for Louisville, so it's hard to know if this game is coming. But Haley Van Liss is justified in confronting her old team, and Jeff Waltz (one of the sports' top coaches) may have an interesting scheme cooked to stop the former players and Prince Sedona.
3. No. 5 Kansas and No. 4 Kentucky
Sunday, 2pm (ESPN)
Kentucky made a close call with Liberty in the first round, winning with just one point on a massive performance from Georgia Amoor. Meanwhile, Ayoka Lee has returned Kansas And she doubled against one of the best mid-marjor teams in the country at Fairfield in the country with Jeff Mitty's team's big victory. Despite all the successes Lee and Mitty share together, Kansas hasn't been on the second weekend of the tournament since 2002.
2. No.6 Michigan vs. No.3 Notre Dame
Sunday, 1pm (ABC)
This is a major soccer rivalry, but both sides don't play that often in women's basketball. Still, this should be a competitive game with large players. Notre DameOf course, it comes with a trio of security guards from Hannah Hidalgo, Sonia Citron and Olivia Miles, but it's unclear how effective the latter is after being downed with a left ankle injury in the first round. Michigan is piloted by freshmen of the Silla Swords star.
1. No.3LSU vs. No.6 Florida
Monday, 6pm ET – ESPN
Florida He's one of the teams of the season, begging someone and losing to anyone. The Seminoles defeated North Carolina and Notre Dame, but also lost to Stanford. Still, when one of the best rim protectors in the game with one of the nation's leading scorers, Tanya Rutson and Makaira Thimpson, plays the best, the Seminoles are hard to beat. Even against strong hits LSU The squad, which both Anesa Moreau and Fraughe Johnson deal with recent lower body injuries, needs to be at the top of the game to break the upset in Baton Rouge. It can be a lot of fun to watch them try.
