March Madness women’s live updates: Ohio State wins thriller, Louisville ousts Texas
men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments, we’ve come to the final eight games in the second round.
Indiana faces ninth-seeded Miami as it tries to join fellow No. 1s South Carolina and Virginia Tech in the Sweet 16 and avoid the fate of Stanford, which was sent packing Sunday night. In what seems like it should be a rematch of a title game but is not, second-seeded UConn plays seventh-seeded Baylor.
No. 3-seeded Ohio State kicked off the day’s action with a thrilling 71-69 win over No. 6 North Carolina. Elsewhere, two No. 4 seeds — Tennessee and Villanova — rolled to wins.

Talk about peaking at the right time.
Hailey Van Lith scored 21 points and the Louisville Cardinals locked down on defense, holding fourth-seeded Texas to just 35% shooting from the field (and a cover-your-eyes 11% from 3) in upsetting the Longhorns, 73-51, on their home floor.
Winners, losers from Sunday

There might as well have been a “This space belongs to” label on the paint for as monstrous as the performances by LSU’s Angel Reese, Utah’s Alissa Pili and Virginia Tech’s Elizabeth Kitley were. Stanford’s loss to Ole Miss would have been far more lopsided if not for Cameron Brink’s spectacular effort.
