The South Dakota State Jackrabbits will meet the USC women’s basketball team in the first round of the 2023 Women’s NCAA Tournament. The game will be on Friday, March 17, at roughly 5 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time.
USC is the No. 8 seed in what is called the “Seattle 3″ Region. The Women’s NCAA Tournament is breaking away from the four-location format for the regionals this year. Usually, there have been four different regional sites — East, West, Midwest, South — but this year, Greenville, S.C., and Seattle are two regional sites with two different regional finals being played in those two locations. So, there are two Greenville brackets (Greenville 1 and 2) and two Seattle brackets (Seattle 3 and 4). USC-SDSU is part of the Seattle 3 bracket. If the Trojans can win here and then upset top-seeded Virginia Tech on Sunday, they would go to Seattle for the Sweet 16 the following week.
