STORRS, CONNECTICUT - MARCH 21: Helena Pueyo #13 of the Arizona Wildcats drives to the rim against the Auburn Tigers during the second half of a First Four game of the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament at the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion on March 21, 2024 in Storrs, Connecticut. The Wildcats beat the Tigers 69-59. (Photo by Joe Buglewicz/Getty Images)

Do not let the 23-7 record of the Syracuse Orange is deceptive.

The team faced a strength of schedule that ranked 66th in the nation, are not a particularly strong shooting team (46.3 from the paint and 32.1 from outside, per The Athletic), and are facing an Arizona team that forces turnovers and can play defense.

Guard Helena Pueyo has 103 steals to her name this season and is a threat to turn games in her teams' favor every time she touches the ball.

If Pueyo can make her presence felt and gather a few steals, it will limit possessions for a Syracuse team that already only averages 73.3 possessions per game.

Forcing turnovers and keeping the ball out of playmaker Dyaisha Fair's (22 points per game), will set the Wildcats up to stun the sixth seed and advance to the next round.

Potential Upset: FGC over Oklahoma

COLLEGE PARK, MD - MARCH 20: Florida Gulf Coast Eagles guard Karli Seay (23) dribbles past Maryland Terrapins guard Ashley Owusu (15) during a NCAA women's basketball tournament second round game between the Maryland Terrapins and the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles, on March 20, 2022, at Xfinity Center, in College Park, Maryland.

Florida Gulf Coast will live and breathe on the three-point shot.

The team shot .355 from beyond the arc this season while taking 804 shots. It is not surprising as head coach Karl Smesko introduced and popularized the shot in the women's game.

They also incorporate a slow pace that cuts down on possessions and forces the opposition to make the most of every opportunity they get. The team, themselves, averaged 67.1 possessions per game.

If they can bring that element of their game to their match-up with the Sooners, offsetting their distribution strength and efficiently hitting threes, they absolutely can defeat an Oklahoma team that
