March Madness is here and there is one lone program representing Kentucky in the NCAA Women’s Tournament: the University of Louisville.
Here’s how you can watch and support the Louisville women’s team.
When do they play?
UofL will open tournament play on Friday, March 22 at 1:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2. They are a 6-seed and will face 11-seed Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders. This will be the 26th all-time appearance for the Cardinals in the NCAA Tournament and the 15th appearance in the 16 tournaments under head coach Jeff Walz. Middle Tennessee punched their ticket to the Big Dance by winning the Conference USA Women’s Tournament.
How to watch
Every game of the women’s tournament will be aired — here is a schedule that will be updated with matchups — on ESPN’s networks and streaming services with select games on ABC. While ESPN will air the Final Four, the title game will be back on ABC, just like last season.
When does the tournament start?
The First Four matchups (March 20-21) and first- and second-round games (March 22-25) are on campus, with sites announced late March 17.
Sweet 16 weekend (March 29-April 1) will see games in two sites once again: Albany, New York, and Portland, Oregon.
The Final Four is in Cleveland on Friday, April 5, with the championship game on Sunday, April 7.
