The South Florida Bulls will take on the Louisville Cardinals in the round of 32 Monday and here’s how to watch online.
The South Florida women at a 6-seed in the Albany Region are set to play the 3-seed Louisville Cardinals in a round of 32 match up between two teams that have beef with the No. 1 seed in their region, Connecticut.
South Florida played Connecticut three times this season and lost each game and will no doubt be trying to reach the Elite Eight for another crack at the Huskies. The Louisville women have been the NCAA Women’s Tournament national runner-up twice (2009, 2013) and both times, it was Connecticut who defeated them. The Cardinals will be looking to knock off their former conference rival in the Elite Eight and they’ll have to get through South Florida and 7-seed Dayton who upset 2-seed Kentucky Sunday.
After a 26-7 record, the South Florida women’s basketball team found themselves in the NCAA Women’s Tournament as a six-seed in the Albany Region. In the first round, South Florida squared up against 11-seed LSU and in a tight game, the Bulls held off the Tigers to get the 73-64 win and move on to the second round to play the Louisville Cardinals. Junior guard Courtney Williams led the team with 17 points and added 12 rebounds and six assists.
This is South Florida’s fourth NCAA Women’s Tournament appearance. The Bulls were out in the second round in 2014 and hope to not repeat that same destiny.
The Louisville women had an impressive season in the ACC this year after a 25-6 record they were given a 3-seed in the Albany Region behind Connecticut and Kentucky (who was already upset by Dayton). In their first game of the tournament, Louisville blew out 14-seed BYU 86-53. Louisville was led by star freshman forward Myisha Hines-Allen who had 19 points and 8 rebounds.
This is Louisville’s 18th NCAA Women’s Tournament appearance. The team finished as National Runner Up in 2009 and 2013 and lost to Connecticut both times. They’ll hope to get some revenge against their former conference rival in the Elite Eight.
