No. 1 overall seed South Carolina beats Norfolk State in opening day of 2023 women's NCAA tournament.

No. 8 seed Ole Miss, 10th-seeded Georgia and 11-seed Mississippi State advance to the second round.

The SEC went 5-0 on Friday, including the upsets by Ole Miss and Mississippi State.

Maryland will be a real threat to South Carolina if Brinae Alexander can shoot like she did against Holy Cross.

Alissa Pili's 33-point, eight-rebound performance wasn't a surprise, but the Utah star's eight assists raised an eyebrow.

I didn't expect Gonzaga to lose, let alone so badly, to Ole Miss.

I'm interested to see how the Big 12 will do with five of its six teams in the tournament playing Saturday.

No. 11 seed Mississippi State was a strong 3-point shooting team entering the tournament.

The Bulldogs picked the right game to go off from 3, as Friday's 11 treys tied their season high.

Notre Dame's backcourt is depleted without Olivia Miles and Dara Mabrey.
