The NCAA women’s tournament carries on Sunday as two No. 1 seeds will be in action and looking to advance. Notre Dame and South Carolina both tip off in the second round against beatable opponents, and neither has been pushed too hard in the early going.

South Carolina, Notre Dame, and Mississippi State all look to advance.


South Carolina, for its part, has dumped 90 points on UNC Asheville and Kentucky in the last month and last lost at Missouri on Feb. 19. Outside Mizzou, the Gamecocks have only lost to Duke, UConn, and Tennessee, and they have little to fear going into their Sunday matchup against Arizona State.
No. 1 seed Notre Dame will also be in action Sunday, with the Irish facing off against No. 9 Purdue. Notre Dame has lost just three games this year — to Tennessee, NC State, and UConn — and the Irish look primed to repeat last year’s Sweet 16 run. If they win, they’ll get the winner of Ohio State-Kentucky in the Round of 16.
