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.

TCU advanced to its first Elite Eight in program history with a 72-61 win over Notre Dame. Hailey Van Lith and Co. were excellent, especially on the defensive end, as they held star guard Hannah Hidalgo to 3 of 19 from the field. The Horned Frogs will meet either Texas in the Elite Eight.

Texas joined TCU in the Elite Eight field thanks to its 67-59 win over Tennessee. Madison Booker's 13-point, seven-rebound performance helped the Longhorns outlast a Tennessee team that had a chance to win deep into the fourth quarter.

Paige Bueckers exploded for 40 points, six rebounds, three steals and two blocks to help UConn throttle Oklahoma, 82-59. After a tight first half UConn dominated the second, outscoring the Sooners 50-23 over the final 20 minutes. Payton Verhulst had 16 points and three rebounds in the loss for Oklahoma.

The Sweet 16 got started Friday with a rivalry clash between No. 2 seed Duke and No. 3 seed North Carolina, and the Blue Devils cruised to a 47-38 win thanks to an incredible defensive effort. Reigning national champion South Carolina, meanwhile, stormed back from a halftime deficit to defeat Maryland and advance to the Elite Eight, where they'll meet Duke.

In a thrilling back-and-forth contest, LSU beat NC State, 80-73, behind a 30-point, 19-rebound effort from Aneesah Morrow. Mikaylah Williams was clutch late with several huge baskets, and she finished with 19 points, eight rebounds and six assists.

Top overall seed UCLA hardly broke a sweat last weekend with a pair of blowout victories, but the level of difficulty went up when the Bruins defeated No. 5 seed Ole Miss, 76-62. UCLA will face LSU on Sunday.
