No. 1 seed Iowa and star Caitlin Clark will be in action against No. 5 seed Colorado at 3:30 p.m. ET after the slate opens with a matchup between No. 2 seed UCLA and No. 3 seed LSU at 1 p.m. ET.

Before you lock in any 2024 Women's NCAA Tournament picks or predictions for the Sweet 16 on Saturday, 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. 2 seed UCLA to cover the spread as a 3.5-point underdog against No. 3 seed LSU in Albany Region 2. The Tigers have taken advantage of a favorable path thus far, beating a pair of double-digit seeds to advance to the Sweet 16. UCLA is coming off a win over No. 7 seed Creighton, and it went 7-4 against ranked teams during the regular season.Â
"When you look at the matchup on the court, this sets up nicely for UCLA as one of the few teams in the country who has an edge against LSU in LSU's strongest category – rebounding," Wetzel said. "With 6-foot-7 Lauren Betts inside, the Bruins should be able to handle the size of Angel Reese and Aneesah Morrow, the former of whom is used to eating against opponents her own size. Take this up to +2.5."
