Where to watch today's Women's March Madness games: TV channel, live stream, times

The women's March Madness action continues with a lineup of 16 thrilling games on Friday, generating a wave of anticipation among fans hoping their teams survive for the sake of their brackets. The schedule features two top seeds competing, promising an exciting day of basketball.

The No. 1 seed and defending champions, South Carolina, will face the No. 16 seed, Tennessee Tech, to kick off the Gamecocks tournament journey. This marks South Carolina's 13th consecutive NCAA tournament appearance as they begin their quest for a fourth championship title. On the other hand, Tennessee Tech, an underdog in this matchup, is making its second tournament appearance in the last 20 years, with a total of 12 appearances overall. The Golden Eagles hope this year will be the one where they win more than one game in the tournament, something they have yet to achieve.

Another top seed to watch is the UCLA Bruins, led by the exceptional talent of Lauren Betts. The junior has had a standout season in her second year with the Bruins, averaging an impressive 19.7 points and 9.9 rebounds per game.
