For Duke women's basketball coach Kara Lawson, it's not about the who it takes, but the what it takes. She's not relishing extra in this UNC win.

The Arizona vs Duke Sweet 16 referees are under fire for their handling of the March Madness game, particularly for a couple of flagrant fouls.

The action in the 2025 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament kicks back up on Friday, March 28 in Regional 2 in Birmingham where bitter rivals the North Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils meet for the third time this season, this time in the Sweet 16 at Legacy Arena at BJCC in Birmingham, Ala.

The second weekend of the NCAA Tournament started with a bang on Thursday, as No. 3 seed Texas Tech emerged from the first overtime game of the Big Dance with a thrilling 85-83 win over No. 10 seed Arkansas.

With the opening line of Duke’s Sweet 16 hovering near double digits, the Blue Devils are heavily favored in their matchup against No. 4 Arizona. Displaying dominant two-way play through two games, it’s easy to see why Duke currently sits at No. 1 entering the second weekend.
