The second day of women’s March Madness promises more thrills and drama packed into a schedule jam-packed with 16 games.
Saturday’s action includes several teams being talked up as top-tier contenders to win the tournament. No. 1 seeds USC and Texas will take the court, as will No. 2 seed UConn, a team that is a popular pick for those who filled out a bracket. That means three of the best players in the game – Juju Watkins, Madison Booker, and Paige Bueckers – will take center stage.
That’s not to say that every higher-seeded team is expected to advance. It wouldn’t be right to call it March Madness without some upsets, right? Today’s slate includes Norfolk State, Harvard, and Murray State, all teams that have some appeal for experts and casuals alike when it comes to being the one person in your pool who can say they called it.
Here is the full women’s NCAA tournament schedule for Saturday, including expert picks from USA TODAY Sports Network reporters.
