The second round of the 2024 Women's NCAA Tournament begins on Monday, March 25, as teams try to book their spot in the Sweet 16. Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes will be back in action against the West Virginia Mountaineers in a 1 vs. 8 matchup in Albany Region 2. Then two high-profile programs will go head-to-head in Portland Region 4 when No. 3 seed NC State takes on No. 6 seed Tennessee. It's another action-packed day in the 2024 NCAA Women's Tournament with eight games on the schedule. 

Before you lock in any 2024 Women's NCAA Tournament picks or predictions for the second round on Monday, you need to see what women's basketball expert Calvin Wetzel has to say.

Wetzel, HerHoopStats.com lead betting writer, incorporates his mathematical background and strong knowledge of women's hoops to turn the site's prediction model into picks. Now Wetzel has turned his attention to women's college basketball after teaming up with Aaron Barzilai, a Ph.D. from Stanford.

Since the start of the 2021-22 women's college basketball campaign, Wetzel is 1,384-988 (+371.33 units)!

We can tell you that Wetzel is taking No. 3 seed UConn to advance to its 30th consecutive Sweet 16 in a matchup with No. 6 seed Syracuse in Portland Region 3. The last time that Geno Auriemma's squad failed to advance past the second round of the NCAA tournament was 1993 and the Huskies have piled up 21 Final Fours and 11 national championship since then. Paige Bueckers returned to action after tearing her ACL a season ago and is one of the nation's best.

"Not too many games between a No. 3 seed and a No. 6 seed feature a spread this high, but this is as strong of a No. 3 and as weak of a No. 6 as you'll find," Wetzel said. "The Orange are simply overmatched in this one. This spread should be in the 20s, so it's good here or at 19.5 if needed."

Wetzel has also released picks for two other games in the second round of the Women's NCAA Tournament on Monday! You ABSOLUTELY need to see these picks before locking in any women's college basketball picks of your own.
