March Madness for women’s basketball continues with the second day of the first round on Saturday, as several teams play their first and/or last games of the season. These include undefeated No. 1 seed UConn as they take on underdog No. 16 UTSA at the Fort Worth 1 bracket, while No. 1 South Carolina takes on No. 16 Southern over at the Sacramento 4 bracket.
These games may determine which team will win the national title, so the people calling these games should be important as well. The list of commentators for all 16 games for the second day of the first round have been revealed, and here they are:
