Greenville, S.C. is one of the two regions in this season’s new format
The Sweet 16 is set after a wild first weekend of the tournament. No. 1 overall seed South Carolina still stands in the Greenville 1 Regional, while No. 1 seed Indiana is out in the Greenville 2 Regional.
The Gamecocks opened second-round play with a win and will meet the final team to advance to the Sweet 16 — the No. 4 seed UCLA Bruins who got a career night from Charisma Osborne (36 points) to knock off No. 5 seed Oklahoma. In the other Greenville 1 Regional semifinal, No. 2 seed Maryland will take on No. 3 seed Notre Dame. Maryland knocked out Arizona in the second round, while the Fighting Irish beat Mississippi State. Notre Dame will be without all-everything point guard Olivia Miles, who’ll miss the NCAA Tournament with a knee injury.
In 2023, Cinderella is wearing a green and orange slipper as the No. 9 seed Miami Hurricanes are headed to the Elite Eight in the Greenville 2 Regional after a thrilling win over No. 4 seed Villanova, in which the Canes nearly blew a 21 point lead. Miami led 54-33 right after halftime, but a furious late rally from the Wildcats gave them the lead with 49 seconds left, but Miami was able to make some clutch late free throws to win. All three of Miami’s games have been within a point in the final minute and the Hurricanes are off to the Sweet 16 for the first time. The nation’s leading scorer Maddy Siegrist finished with 31 points, and finished the year with the second-most points (1,050) in a single season in Division I women’s history.
Taking on the Canes in the Greenville 2 Regional final are the No. 3 seed LSU Tigers who got another big game from Angel Reese (17 points, 12 rebounds) and a huge game from LaDazhia Williams who scored a season-high 24 points in the biggest game of the year. LSU is off to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2008, and also the first time under Kim Mulkey in her second year in Baton Rouge.
