The Women's NCAA Tournament continues Saturday with the Sweet 16 as teams look to punch their ticket to the Elite Eight. All four No. 1 seeds remain, but USC will have to keep dancing without its best player after JuJu Watkins suffered a torn ACL in the second round.
Milos Uzan led all scorers with 22 points on 8-of-17 shooting, none bigger than his last-second layup to win the game. He added six assists and three rebounds and was 6-of-9 from three-point range. Emmanuel Sharp added 17 for Houston.
Now, Arkansas stands just one game away from another potential bracket-shattering victory as they prepare to battle Texas Tech in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16. A win would complete their stunning transformation from an afterthought to a legitimate title contender.
The Sweet 16, a popular destination for bracket-busting mid-majors, will be made up entirely of teams from power conferences, a first since the bracket expanded to 64 teams in 1985. Not a Saint Peter’s or Loyola Chicago in the bunch. Not even a Butler or Gonzaga.
