Eight teams remain in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament. Similar to the men’s side, there has been a lot of chalk this season, leading to some great matchups. All four one-seeds are still alive, set to face off against either a two or three-seed.

Sweet Sixteen action wrapped up on Saturday and with that comes information about the upcoming Elite Eight. ESPN has announced tip-off times and television channels for the games. Sunday 1 p.m. ET will be the first matchup of the round before going late into Monday night.

More information on upcoming Elite Eight matchups

Some great games should be on the way in the women’s tournament. A few matchups are between teams in the local area of one another. Both are playing out in Birmingham with potentially a little more added emotions being infused into the games.

Texas is set to face off against old Big 12 rival TCU. There is also some history between the Longhorns and TCU star Hailey Van Lith, dating back to her time at Louisville. Some energy should be in the building with storylines galore.

The day prior will bring Dawn Staley‘s South Carolina against Duke. It’s one we have already seen play out this season, with the Gamecocks winning a Dec. 5 matchup in Columbia. The Blue Devils will be looking for revenge while a fifth consecutive Final Four is on the line for UofSC.

Moving over to Spokane, USC is still alive in the NCAA Tournament despite playing without arguably the sport’s top player, JuJu Watkins. A torn ACL was suffered during USC’s second-round game against Mississippi State. The worst was feared when the injury took place and has played out to be true.

LSU-UCLA will be the game to get the entire Elite Eight started. Arguably one of the best potential matchups out there, there will be plenty of high-level play on the court. UCLA is looking to make program history with its first-ever Final Four, while the Tigers are searching for another national championship under head coach Kim Mulkey.
