The second round of the 2024 Women's NCAA Tournament begins on Sunday, March 24, as teams try to book their spot in the Sweet 16. Top overall seed South Carolina is among the teams in action, facing No. 8 seed North Carolina at 1 p.m. ET. No. 1 seed Texas faces No. 8 seed Alabama, while No. 3 seed LSU tries to avoid getting upset by No. 11 seed Middle Tennessee. 

Before you lock in any 2024 Women's NCAA Tournament picks or predictions for the second round on Sunday, 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. 5 seed Baylor to cover the spread as a 3.5-point underdog against No. 4 seed Virginia Tech in Portland Region 3. The Bears are coming off a convincing 80-63 first-round win over No. 12 seed Vanderbilt on Friday, giving them seven wins in their last eight games. Meanwhile, Virginia Tech has lost three of its last five games and is playing without its best player. 

"Elizabeth Kitley, the three-time ACC Player of the Year, has been Virginia Tech's centerpiece all season long. While her 23 points and 11 boards per game weren't missed much in the first round, that was because Virginia Tech's guards were able to break Marshall's heavy pressure. No. 5 seed Baylor is a much different beast than a No. 13 seed, and even with the home crowd, Virginia Tech is much more likely to struggle to find offense in this one. This game should be close to pick'em, so getting Baylor as dogs is great value," Wetzel told SportsLine. 

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