NCAA women’s hoops teams record lopsided wins and shocking upsets

The GIST: Most teams have just three matchups remaining before conference tournaments begin in early March, and you can tell — these squads are balling so hard as they warm up for the postseason and jockey for higher seeds.

No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 6 South Carolina rack up 40-point dubs: It’s a March Madness No. 1 seed or bust for these two squads, who are looking as dominant as ever following last night’s respective blowout wins. ND held Miami to 0-for-16 in 3-point shooting, destroying the Hurricanes 82–42 on the road. As for the offense, Irish forward Liatu King was particularly impressive with 13 points and 13 rebounds.

• Meanwhile, five of SC’s talented hoopers scored in double-digit points, helping the Gamecocks storm to a 95–55 dub, a much-needed statement win after a pair of ranked losses.

• And they weren’t the only ones sailing to convincing wins last night: No. 16 Oklahoma also recorded a 20-point victory over freshman phenom Mikayla Blakes’ Vanderbilt, and No. 13 NC State routed No. 20 Georgia Tech 83–68 for a top-25 dub. Sheesh.

Rebuilding Indiana and Louisville capture signature wins: Both squads have struggled to match the success of their last few years, but you wouldn’t know it from last night: Indiana stunned rival No. 8 Ohio State 71–61 behind a double-double from guard Yarden Garzon, while Louisville outlasted No. 11 Duke 70–62, handing the Blue Devils their second straight loss. Back like they never left.
