Five two-digit seeds remain alive during the first round of NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament. Just because Cinderella’s slippers don’t come out on the first game day, doesn’t mean someone didn’t shine them to use. it takes over win in A two-digit stub To become a heroine my love, but it starts from there. So here are the candidates for the first round, together How many users does Yahoo Fantasy have? Each was chosen for the way forward, and why slippers might be a good fit.
no. 11 Mississippi (Greenville 1)
In parentheses yahoo: 18.2%
Next: no. 3 Notre Dame (3:30 p.m. ET Sunday, ESPN)
Well, this one is actually slipper-worthy. The Bulldogs (22-10) became the first team to play in the top four and make it to the second round. street. John almost joined them the next day until North Carolina’s Deja Kelly advanced for the winner.
Mississippi fell no. 11 Illinois, 70-56And he followed multiplication no. 6 Creighton Cinderella mode In Bluejays own style. The Bulldogs hit 11 of 19 3-point attempts, tying a season high. Here’s why we really like Bulldogs as much as Cinderellas. They will advance to face Notre Dame, And he’s without point guard Olivia Miles And 3-point threat to Dara Mabry.
no. 10 Georgia (Seattle 4)
In parentheses yahoo: 39.7%
Next: no. 2 Iowa (3 p.m. ET Sunday, ABC)
Georgia (22-11) was a surprisingly modern selection, especially after Florida State declared ACC leading scorer and Freshman of the Year Ta’Niya Latson will not play. The Seminoles were also without Omaria Gordon and played shortstop. Georgia has a top 35 defense allowing 58.3 points per game. We don’t like their chances against the Hawkeyes’ high offense, but it will be an interesting game to watch.
no. 12 Florida Gulf Coast (Greenville 2)
In parentheses yahoo: 18.8%
Next: no. 4 Villanova (Monday, TBD)
We were high at Yahoo Sports’ FGCU, as well as a few other outlets. The Eagles (31-3) are tournament experienced, one of the best pure shooting teams in the country and high with a 3-point average. but against no. 5 Washington stateThey counted on points inside the arc and tied a season-low at five 3s. Go to paint against Madi Siegrist It will be a longer mission and should be 3s at a premium.
no. 10 Princeton (Seattle 3)
In parentheses yahoo: 28.1%
Next: no. 2 Utah (7 p.m. ET Sunday, ESPN2)
Don’t count on Ivy Leaguers. The Tigers (24-5) are first-round winners again this season, having knocked out Kentucky and fallen by one point to Indiana last season. Princeton’s defense throughout a tough game against NC State was amazing, and necessary as the offense appeared to play each possession on a five-second shot clock. The 13 steals against the Wolfpack tied a season-high for the Tigers four times, including a 5-point loss against UConn. Utah’s offense might be too much, even if Princeton hits another eight seconds.
no. 12 Toledo (Seattle 3)
In parentheses yahoo: 15.89%
Next: no. 4 Tennessee (Monday, TBD)
The percentage of people who choose Toledo in the game of brackets is so low that we share it in the 100th place. The Rockets (29-4) won the Mid-American title and earned their first win in the NCAA Tournament since 1996. It’s their fourth win ever. Toledo and Iowa State matched up well on paper. Missiles hit about 50%., which is a reason we love them going forward, and two of their four double-digit scorers were coming off the bench. They are 20th in field goal percentage and 15th in free throws. What we really like about their chances against Tennessee is that they don’t turn the ball around much, averaging 12.4 per game (16th overall) and a 15.8% average (29th overall).
