What channel is the UNC-UConn women's basketball NCAA Tournament battle? Here's how to watch, including TV schedule, odds and streaming info.
The UNC women's basketball team is one of just 16 remaining in the NCAA Tournament , a rare feat many programs don't get to claim. Next up for 4-seed North Carolina (28-7) is UConn, the tournament's top overall seed. The Tar Heels and Huskies (36-0) will tip off their Sweet 16 clash on Friday afternoon, at 5 p.
m. ET inside Fort Worth's Dickies Arena. UNC faced little resistance in its NCAA Tournament opener, dominating Western Illinois in a result defined by lockdown defense .
North Carolina escaped Maryland in the Second Round , 74-66, winning both its Big Dance games inside Carmichael Arena. UConn is the best program across college basketball, with 12 National Championships in Storrs. The 2025-26 Huskies may be the best individual team in program history, though, with multi-possession victories in all but one game.
Sarah Strong and Azzi Fudd are arguably the game's best one-two punch, with both averaging 17 points per game. UConn wins most of its games in blowout fashion, so Geno Auriemma is able to tap deep into his bench, with 10 players averaging 11 minutes per game. The Tar Heels counter with lockdown defense, a guard-heavy attack and strong perimeter shooting.
