Recapping Friday’s NCAA Tournament games
Most of the higher seeds won in the first day of the women’s NCAA Tournament. The only team to be upset was Louisville, falling 71-69 to Middle Tennessee. The loss by the Cardinals means that we will not have a matchup with LSU star Hailey Van Lith facing off against her former team in the second round.
While the rest of the higher seeds won, not all of the victories were easy. No. 6 seed Nebraska escaped with a 61-59 victory over No. 11 seed Texas A&M. Alexis Markowski and Logan Nissley each scored 16 points for the Cornhuskers in the win.
