Women's March Madness Day 4: Second-round scores, analysis
We broke down all eight games Monday, from Virginia's thrilling double-OT win to UConn's dominance.
Vanderbilt's Sweet 16 opponent: (6) Notre Dame
How the Commodores can advance to the Elite Eight: Vanderbilt hadn't made it past the second round of the tournament since 2009. The Commodores will face Olivia Miles and Notre Dame. Blakes is the nation's leading scorer, but Miles is the third-best scorer in the country. She is also a pesky defender. The Commodores average just 13.1 turnovers per game, but they will have to be even more careful with the ball. Vanderbilt shot well from 3-point range in the first round of the tournament, knocking down 11 shots from distance. Blakes hit more 3-pointers than Illinois. Vanderbilt averages 26.3 3-point attempts per game and converts 36.3% of them.
