The women's NCAA Tournament is set to deliver high-stakes drama this weekend, and a Sweet 16 showdown in Region 4 between No. 2 UConn and No. 3 Oklahoma has all the makings of an instant classic.
Oklahoma (27-7) bounced back from an 18-point defeat in the SEC tournament semifinals with dominant performances in the opening two rounds. The Sooners dismantled Florida Gulf Coast 81-58 before steamrolling Iowa by 34 points to secure their spot in Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena. Raegan Beers has been a force on the glass, hauling in 31 rebounds in just 46 minutes as Oklahoma has comfortably spread the workload across its roster.
Meanwhile, UConn (33-3) is riding a 12-game winning streak, with defense as its calling card. The Huskies have not allowed an opponent to crack 60 points since their Feb. 6 loss to Tennessee. Geno Auriemma’s squad wasted no time asserting its dominance in the tournament, obliterating Arkansas State 103-34 before mirroring Oklahoma’s second-round margin with a 91-57 rout of South Dakota State.
