The Pac-12 Conference has two teams remaining in the women’s bracket after three teams fell in the Sweet 16. Stanford and UCLA ended up losing their respective games, and Colorado also lost to Iowa on Saturday.
The two winners were USC and Oregon State, and the Beavers face 1-seed South Carolina in a daunting matchup.
Here’s how everything unfolded for the other teams on Saturday:
JuJu Watkins leads USC over Baylor
The Trojans barely defeated 5-seed Baylor on Saturday. Once again, it was the JuJu Watkins show as she scored 30 points with six rebounds and four assists. Rayah Marshall added an 11-point, 16-rebound double-double as USC got the 74-70 win. They face UConn on Monday night. USC is playing in its first Elite Eight since 1994, and Watkins is a huge reason why.
Colorado loses to Caitlin Clark
The Buffs didn’t advance and Caitlin Clark again proved to be one of the best players we have seen in this generation. Clark dropped 29 points with 15 assists as Iowa got an east 89-68 win.
