Eight teams remain in the Women’s NCAA Tournament.
While the women’s tournament typically has less upsets than the men’s during the first and second rounds, the second weekend of March Madness is where things can get spicy and interesting. This year’s tournament didn’t disappoint.
No. 3 Duke upset No. 2 LSU on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Ashlon Jackson, and Hannah Hidalgo dropped a triple-double to power No. 6 Notre Dame to a victory over No. 2 Vanderbilt. The Fighting Irish and Blue Devils are the only teams from the ACC remaining in the field, tied for the most left with the Big Ten and SEC.
Each of last year’s Final Four teams — UConn, UCLA, Texas and South Carolina — are all No. 1 seeds this season, and are all still alive after surviving their Sweet 16 matchups in Fort Worth, Texas and Sacramento, California.
Can Hidalgo and Niele Ivey create more March Madness magic? Will Duke continue to avenge its non-conference losses? Can Raven Johnson lead South Carolina to its sixth consecutive Final Four?
