🏆 Do not miss this: Final Four preview, picks
There are six games left in the Division I basketball season -- three on the men's side and three for the women -- and all but one of them will be completed by Sunday night.
The Women's NCAA Tournament picks back up tonight at the Final Four in Phoenix, where all of the No.
1 seeds remain in contention for the national championship.
Here are a couple of storylines to note heading into the action:
Our women's basketball writers made their picks for UConn vs.
South Carolina (7 p.m.
ET, ESPN) and for UCLA vs.
Texas (9:30 p.m., ESPN).
They reached a consensus in picking the Huskies to head back to the title game, but are split on the Longhorns and Bruins.
The winners of those showdowns meet Sunday for a chance to cut nets.
The men's tournament resumes Saturday when No.
3 Illinois squares off against No.
2 UConn at 6:09 p.m.
in Indianapolis.
No.
1 seeds Michigan and Arizona will clash following that first game.
We'll have more on the Men's Final Four between now and tip-off, but first, here's what you need to know about the opening game between the Fighting Illini and Huskies.
The Fire and Tempo will begin construction of their inaugural rosters today at the WNBA double expansion draft.
Both first-year franchises can select up to 12 players over the course of two rounds, but only one of them can be an unrestricted free agent.
Some of the players who come off the board may already be under contract with other teams.
Each of the existing 13 teams submitted lists of up to five protected players who are not up for grabs.
Because the protected player lists are not revealed publicly, predicting who the Fire and Tempo pick is in some ways a shot in the dark.
A significant number of players are no-doubters to be protected, though, which makes it a bit easier to build a mock draft.
That's precisely what Jack Maloney did as he hypothesized every protected player list and projected the results of the expansion draft .
The Fire are on the clock with pick No.
1, and Maloney projected Jordin Canada to become the first player on Portland's roster.
And with the second pick in the mock draft, Jack projected Toronto will make Bridget Carleton the first player in franchise history.
👍👎 The best (and not-so-best) of the rest
