How to watch women’s March Madness second-round games on Monday: Schedule, odds and storylines

The Round of 32 separates the first-weekend scrum and the title aspirants. The last eight Sweet 16 spots will be issued throughout Monday’s action, which features elites such as Texas, USC and UConn.

We’ll begin at noon ET with NC State hosting Michigan State in Raleigh. After that, the dynamic frontcourt duo of Madison Booker and Taylor Jones leads the Longhorns against massive underdog Illinois. Iowa seeks its first tourney glory post-Caitlin Clark, tangling with Raegan Beers and Oklahoma in the third game before a tight 4-5 draw between Maryland and Alabama at College Park.

The second half of Monday’s slate is loaded with national star power. LSU’s “big three” host high-scoring Florida State, and Alyssa Ustby anchors a balanced UNC attack versus West Virginia. Paige Bueckers and UConn are heavy favorites against upstart South Dakota State, while JuJu Watkins’ USC squad takes on Mississippi State in the nightcap.
