The Connecticut Huskies may be the team to beat in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament, but if there’s one team who can upset the juggernaut, the Baylor Bears might be it. After winning their first two games of the tournament by a combined margin of 129 points, they’ll take on No. 4 Louisville at 9:30 p.m. ET in what should be an exciting matchup. The winner of this game, and every Friday night matchup, will advance to the Elite Eight.

No. 1 Notre Dame will take on No. 5 Ohio State to begin the evening, with Notre Dame coming off an 88-82 victory over No. 9 Purdue. Ohio State, meanwhile, handled No. 4 Kentucky with ease and looks to rally to a second straight upset victory.

Two matchups of twos and threes should make the night interesting as well. First, No. 2 Mississippi State will take on No. 3 Washington at 7:00. With both teams coming off decisive victories, this showdown between the Bulldogs and Huskies figures to be a close one. At 9:30, No. 2 Stanford and No. 3 Texas will clash. Stanford appears to be heating up after a 69-48 victory over No. 7 Kansas State, while Texas could be gassed following its 84-80 battle against No. 6 North Carolina State.
