in Notre Dame’s win over Vanderbilt, before UConn muscled its way through UNC to return to the Elite Eight for the 30th time in program history. In Sacramento, UCLA took care of business against Minnesota before Duke outlasted LSU with a buzzer-beating three to steal the game.
What will Saturday have in store?This game has the potential to be a high-scoring affair. Michigan is the 10th-ranked offense in the country, while Louisville is 18th. The Wolverines are playing some of their best basketball in program history and its in entirely thanks to. Their ragtag trio of guards have been leaving the way, with Olivia Olson, Syla Swords and Mila Holloway keeping up appearances so far in the tournament. Louisville also relies on different players stepping up each night. In the first round, it was sophomore Mackenly Randolph, who typically averages 8.6 points per game but unleashed a career-high 20 against Vermont. In the second round junior Elif Istanbulluoglu had a game-high 18 points against Alabama.Madison Booker had just eight points the last time Texas played Kentucky, and yet the Longhorns still won. Given that Midrange Maddie seems to be ready to play in this tournament , the Wildcats could have their hands full. Kentucky has a commendable defense, but will it be enough to slow Booker down? And can their offense keep up with the SEC tournament champions?? The first time around it took a herculean effort from Aaliyah Chavez in overtime, when she scored 15 points, and a home court advantage for the Sooners to get the job done. Oklahoma had 23 turnovers against Michigan State in the second round, something it will want to clean up against an opportunist South Carolina team that seems to shift into a different gear every year come March., Virginia will be looking to keep the Cinderella magic going. Junior Kymora Johnson has been key during this run, scoring 28 points in back-to-back games for the Hoos. Meanwhile, TCU is looking to shake off a second-round game against Washington that didn’t see the Horned Frogs’ best effort: TCU had a season-low 19 points in the first half and was held to just three in the second quarter. But Olivia Miles, who had a triple-double to start the tournament and was just two assists shy from a second against the Huskies, will be looking to keep her college career alive as long as possible and that should be terrifying for Virginia.
