The second round of women’s March Madness continues on Monday with a strong eight-game schedule and powerhouses in action across the NCAA bracket vying for a Sweet 16 spot.
No. 3 LSU vs. No. 6 FSU features two of the highest scoring offenses and the nation’s leading scorer in Ta’Niya Latson. Paige Bueckers and No. 2 UConn host No. 10 South Dakota State in primetime (7 p.m. ET, ESPN). JuJu Watkins and No. 1 USC face No. 9 Mississippi State to close out the night (10 p.m. ET, ESPN). Watkins got a bit banged up in the Trojans’ first-round game, falling on her wrist in the second quarter and rolling her ankle in the third.
