March Madness: How to watch the women’s NCAA Tournament and what to watch for
Associated PressWomen’s basketball has not slowed down at all this season as March Madness arrives. A year ago, the women’s NCAA championship game drew a bigger television audience than the men’s title game for the first time, with an average of 18.9 million viewers watching undefeated South Carolina beat Iowa and superstar Caitlin Clark. Instead, the women’s game has featured a compelling bunch of stars all over again, from Paige Bueckers at UConn to JuJu Watkins at USC, Hannah Hidalgo of Notre Dame and Madison Booker of Texas. 14 seed Florida Gulf Coast has to play 3 seed Oklahoma on the Sooners’ home floor but this is a team whose 23-year head coach left early in the season for the WNBA and hasn’t lost since Dec. 16 while going 30-3. Every game of the women’s tournament will be aired — here is a schedule that will be updated with matchups — on ESPN’s networks and streaming services with select games on ABC.
