NCAA Women’s basketball tournament 2016: Times, TV schedule and live stream for Saturday

After chaos on Friday, UConn will hope to restore order early on Saturday.

After one of the wildest days in recent history in the women’s NCAA Tournament on Friday, the No. 1 overall seed will look to avoid being sideswiped by chaos and two Pac-12 teams will hope to fill out two more spots in the Elite Eight in Sweet 16 action on Saturday.

No. 1 UConn gets the games underway at 11:30 a.m. ET against No. 5 Mississippi State. The Huskies will be playing before noon for the second consecutive Saturday, but before what’s sure to be a highly partisan crowd in Bridgeport, Connecticut. No. 2 UCLA and No. 3 Texas will meet after that first game.

In the late afternoon and early evening, action will shift to the Dallas Regional, where No. 1 Baylor holds court in the Lone Star State. The No. 1 Bears will see No. 5 Florida State, eliminated in the Elite Eight in 2015, and No. 2 Oregon State and No. 6 DePaul will play in the day’s final contest.

Four seed-line upsets were the talk of Friday night’s play, but Saturday’s games seem to provide the Pac-12 with a chance to continue filling the Elite Eight. If UCLA and Oregon State hold off the lower seeds they’ll face, they will join Stanford and Washington, upset winners on Friday, in a West Coast quartet comprising half of the Elite Eight.

Here are the TV schedule and time listings for Saturday’s Sweet 16 games in the NCAA Women’s Tournament.
