2025 Women's Sweet 16 bracket, schedule, dates, game times, locations, how to watch, TV, Streaming for NCAA Tournament
The 2025 women’s NCAA Tournament is moving to the Sweet 16 after the field was finalized Monday night.
The second round of the tournament ended with No. 1 USC dominating No. 9 Mississippi State in a game that saw star Trojans guard JuJu Watkins exit early. The national player of the year contender was carried off the court after suffering an apparent knee injury and she did not return to the game, putting her status moving forward in question.
USC joins the three other No. 1 seeds -- top overall seed UCLA, defending champion South Carolina, and Texas -- in the Sweet 16.
All No. 2 and No. 3 seeds are dancing into the next round, as well. That includes Hailey Van Lith and No. 2 TCU, who will play the program’s first-ever Sweet 16 game in a showdown against Hannah Hidalgo and No. 3 Notre Dame. And, in another 2-3 matchup, rivals Duke and UNC will square off.
