  • Breaking down the best matchups of the men's Sweet 16

  • Final: Stanford 87, Iowa State 81

    Stanford trailed for much of the game and had to play all of overtime without star player Cameron Brink. But the No. 2 seed Cardinal found a way to advance to the Sweet 16. Kiki Iriafen was a big reason why with her 41 points and 16 rebounds.

  • Stanford up 85-81 with the ball after an Iowa State turnover and it's just about over here. The No. 2 seed looks like it will survive.

  • These teams can't miss in this overtime period.

    Stanford leads 83-81. It's Iowa State ball with 19 seconds on the clock.

  • Final: San Diego State 85, Yale 57

    It was never close. Jaedon LeDee scored 26 to lead the Aztecs, who will face No. 1 UConn in the Sweet 16.

  • There has been a lot of shot making by both teams in OT. Back and forth they go.

    Stanford leads 78-76 at the 1:03 mark.

  • And now Iowa State's star player, Audi Crooks, has fouled out. She was the hero for the Cyclones in the first round. Now she's done as Stanford leads 71-69. 3:17 to play.

  • Stanford-Iowa State headed to OT

    Kiki Iriafen's shot rimmed out at the buzzer. We've got another overtime game coming!

  • Iowa State tied it at 66-66. Now Stanford has the ball with 11.5 seconds with a shot to win.

  • Stanford takes the lead on Brooke Demetre's clutch trey!

  • Stanford superstar Cameron Brink has fouled out with 2:11 left. Iowa State leads 64-63.

    Huge moment, huge call.

  • Lost in the chaos of Houston-Texas A&M is another close finish coming up in the Stanford-Iowa State women's game.

  • Here was the last gasp for Texas A&M:

  • Final: Houston 100, Texas A&M 95

    The No. 1 Cougars hang on for deal life in overtime after No. 9 Texas A&M's furious rally forced OT. Houston survives and advances into the Sweet 16, where it will face Duke.

  • Aggies miss on the other end. Houston heads back to the line with 9 seconds. Cougars may FINALLY have this one locked up.

  • Walk-on Ryan Elvin, who almost never plays, hits 1 of 2 free throws to push Houston's lead to 99-95 with 14 second to play.

    Nervous moment for a bench player because four of Houston's five starters have fouled out.

  • Houston has its groove back! It's opened up a 98-93 lead with 21 seconds to play in OT.

  • A&M fans feeling all the emotions after that tying buzzer shot

  • Houston's leading scorer Emanuel Sharp (30 points) has fouled out. That's three starters down for the Cougars. The good news for Houston is it lead 91-87 with under 3 minutes to play in OT.
