The Sweet 16 is set with all the top contenders advancing, but the biggest question right now is how USC can survive tougher competition without star guard JuJu Watkins. The sophomore left the court after she appeared to injure her right leg during the first quarter against Mississippi Sate. Tests later confirmed the worst -- ACL tear in her right knee.

Even without their star player, the Trojans advanced to the next round, as did the other No. 1 seeds Texas, South Carolina and UCLA -- the top overall seed.

Since the tournament expanded in 1994, a No. 1 seed has won the title 23 times. Meanwhile, No. 2 seeds have won the championship four times and No. 3 seeds three times -- with the most recent being LSU in 2023, a program that is once again a No. 3 seed this year and competing in its third consecutive Sweet 16.

Perhaps the most dangerous No. 2 seed this year is, unsurprisingly, UConn -- the winningest program in women's basketball history with 11 national titles. Geno Auriemma's team advanced to its 31st consecutive Sweet 16 after Paige Bueckers tied a career-high 34 points against South Dakota State in a dominant 91-57 victory. The Huskies have not won a trophy since 2016, but they have been to 15 of the last 16 Final Fours.
