Women’s College Basketball Best Bets:
It’s been a fun, hoop-filled weekend with both men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments rolling on, and although there are still two men’s games to be played to decide who gets to go to the Final Four, the women’s Elite Eight is just getting started on Sunday. There are plenty of storylines to go around, including Dawn Staley’s South Carolina team clawing back to beat Maryland in the Sweet 16, Kim Mulkey’s LSU team battling back to get a come-from-behind win, and of course the USC Lady Trojans winning without star Juju Watkins. We’ll find out by Monday night who will be stamping their ticket to the women’s Final Four, and TSI has you covered with the projections on it all, plus a few bets.
Reminder on how to read the projections: If the spread is a positive number, that indicates the team on the left (Home, unless neutral site) is favored by TSI. If the spread is a negative, that indicates the team on the right (Away, unless neutral side) is favored by TSI. TSI total is the projected number of combined points in the game.
Here are my women’s Elite Eight projections for Sunday and Monday:
| Team | Team | TSI Spread | TSI Total |
| South Carolina | Duke | 7.8 | 127.0 |
| UCLA | Louisiana State | 3.1 | 145.0 |
| Texas | TCU | 7.1 | 125.0 |
| Southern California | Connecticut | -12.5 | 138.0 |
Women’s Sweet 16 Bets:
Sunday Bets:
South Carolina/Duke Under 128.5 (Play to 128)
LSU +5 (Play to +4)
Monday Bets:
Texas/TCU Under 131.5 (Play to 129)
USC/UConn Under 140.5 (Play to 139.5)
