Notre Dame 91, Michigan State 63

Michigan State was no match for Notre Dame, as the Fighting Irish ran away with a 91-63 victory.

Notre Dame blitzed the Spartans with a 25-point first quarter and then dropped 27 points in the second quarter to take a 52-26 lead into the locker room at halftime.

The Irish essentially had their way with Michigan State inside. They owned a 49-37 edge in rebounding and got to the foul line 25 times, compared to 13 for their opponents. Notre Dame also fell just short of the century mark in scoring despite making only four three-pointers.

Arike Ogunbowale led all scorers with 23 points, while Jackie Young (21 points, 11 rebounds) and Brianna Turner (14 points, 11 rebounds) each had a double-double. Turner turned away four shots at the basket as well.

As great as they were on offense, the Fighting Irish were equally strong on defense. They held the Spartans to 37.3 percent shooting. Shay Colley, Michigan State's leading scorer entering the game, shot 2-of-15 from the floor en route to a five-point night.

UCLA 85, Maryland 80

The UCLA Bruins outscored the Maryland Terrapins 19-9 in the fourth quarter to upset the Terps 85-80 on their home floor.

As the teams went back and forth in the final frame, Brianna Fraser brought Maryland to within a point, 79-78, with 3:16 remaining. The Terrapins squandered two possessions that could've put them ahead, allowing Kennedy Burke to give UCLA some breathing room.

With 40 seconds left, Kaila Charles got to the foul line for two shots. She split the pair, which was important because it meant Japreece Dean could give the Bruins a four-point advantage when Maryland had to send her to the charity stripe.

Down two scores, Maryland frantically tried to trim UCLA's lead to no avail.

Michaela Onyenwere showed poise belying her age down the stretch through both her scoring and rebounding. The sophomore forward had 30 points and eight rebounds. Burke finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Dean was outstanding, too, posting 22 points, five rebounds and five assists.

NC State 72, Kentucky 57

A strong opening effort and a dominant performance to close bookended a 72-57 win for the NC State Wolfpack over the Kentucky Wildcats.

In the first and fourth quarters combined, NC State outscored Kentucky 44-26.

The Wildcats rebounded from a sluggish start and hanged around in the second and third quarters. Jaida Roper connected on a deep three-pointer to bring the deficit to five points, 53-48, heading into the final 10 minutes.

Wolfpack senior Kiara Leslie helped seal the victory. Eight of her 26 points came in the fourth quarter, and she scored five quick points in the opening three minutes as NC State's lead swelled to a dozen.

Elissa Cunane was a beast on the boards for NC State, collecting 15 rebounds. She added 13 points for her third double-double of the season.

South Dakota State 75, Syracuse 64

The South Dakota State Jackrabbits are into the Sweet 16 for the first time in program history following a 75-64 win over the Syracuse Orange.

The final score is slightly deceptive, as Syracuse led inside the final four minutes. Madison Guebert hit back-to-back three-pointers to put the Jackrabbits ahead 67-62. Those two shots were the difference, as South Dakota State's lead only grew from there.

The Orange's offense picked the worst time to go cold. Tiana Mangakahia hit a three to put her team ahead 62-59 with 4:53 left in the fourth quarter. Syracuse didn't score again until Digna Strautmane's bucket with 29 seconds remaining. By then the game was out of reach.

Guebert had the hot hand, shooting 6-of-10 from beyond the arc. Syracuse as a team made five three-pointers.

The senior guard played 38 of the 40 minutes, leaving everything she had on the floor to put her team into the regional semifinals.

Missouri State 69, Iowa State 60

The Missouri State Lady Bears made a Final Four run in 2001, with Jackie Stiles leading the way. Stiles was on the bench as an assistant as the school punched its ticket into the Sweet 16.

The Lady Bears pulled off Monday's biggest upset, defeating the Iowa State Cyclones 69-60 in Ames, Iowa.

Missouri State was largely in control from start to finish, though the Cyclones were never too far away.

Things got a bit dicey for the Lady Bears after Bridget Carleton nailed two free throws to cut Iowa State's deficit to a point, 55-54, at the 4:32 mark of the fourth quarter. Alexa Willard and Sydney Manning provided some much-needed relief by making it a six-point game.

From that point forward, the Cyclones missed six of their next seven field-goal attempts. The Lady Bears defense stepped up to suffocate Iowa State.

Carleton had a game-high 31 points. Alexa Middleton and Ashley Joens were the next-highest scorers (nine points) for the Cyclones.

Baylor 102, California 63

Baylor left little doubt as to why it's the top seed by demolishing Cal 102-63.

The Golden Bears might have felt good when they only trailed by three points at the end of the first quarter. That only seemed to make the Lady Bears angry, as they outscored Cal 60-24 over the next 20 minutes. Juicy Landrum's buzzer-beater to close out the first half was an example of how Baylor was rolling.

Kristine Anigwe garnered a lot of attention and rightfully so. The Cal center had a double-double in every game so far this season, including a 32-point, 30-rebound performance against Washington State earlier this month.

Anigwe was no match for 6'7" center Kalani Brown, though. Brown helped limit Anigwe to 13 points on 4-of-17 shooting and five rebounds.

Landrum had 20 points for Baylor, and Chloe Jackson chipped in with 18. For the most part, it was a total team effort from the Lady Bears, with 11 different players scoring in the win.

Oregon State 76, Gonzaga 70

Prior to head coach Scott Rueck's arrival in 2010, the Oregon State Beavers had one appearance in the Sweet 16 (1983). Now, they're through to the regional semifinals for the fourth straight season following a 76-70 win over the Gonzaga Bulldogs.

The Beavers had to fend off a tough fight from the Zags.

Chandler Smith cut Oregon State's lead to a point, 62-61, at the 2:05 mark of the fourth quarter.

Taya Corosdale responded with a three-pointer on the other end of the floor to ease some of the pressure on the home team.

Katie Campbell missed three-pointers on back-to-back possessions for the Bulldogs, by which time the Beavers' lead had grown to eight points. When Zykera Rice found the bottom of the net with a three, the Zags still had to close a five-point deficit in 34 seconds.

Gonzaga was forced to foul Katie McWilliams, and her two free throws essentially ruled out any comeback.

Mikayla Pivec had 19 points and 11 rebounds for the Beavers and was one of five Oregon State players to score in double figures.

Free-throw shooting played a large role in the outcome. The Beavers were 23-of-28 from the charity stripe to own a 12-point advantage in foul shooting.

Stanford 72, BYU 63

The Stanford Cardinal fended off a tough challenge from the BYU Cougars, winning 72-63 to advance to the Sweet 16.

Stanford started slowly out of the gate, falling behind 15-11 after the first quarter. The game turned around in the second quarter, and DiJonai Carrington was a big reason why.

The Cardinal guard scored 14 of her team's 20 points in the quarter, and she gave Stanford a 31-29 lead going into halftime with a bucket just before the buzzer.

BYU refused to go away to start the second half, with Shaylee Gonzales hitting a three-pointer to put the Cougars ahead 35-34 at the 7:50 mark.

Stanford held BYU scoreless for nearly seven minutes immediately after that shot and embarked on a 16-0 run. By the time Jasmine Moody sank her three-point attempt with a minute left in the third, the Cougars trailed by 12. Alanna Smith answered back for Stanford to give the Cardinal a 15-point edge heading into the final quarter.

BYU continued trying to chip away at the deficit but had too steep of a mountain to climb.

Smith was excellent, posting 23 points, 14 rebounds and three assists in the victory, and Carrington finished with 19 points.
