- Louisville faces Michigan, where Michigan's strong press defense and scoring from Olivia Olson and Syla Swords challenge Louisville's defense, which must improve perimeter guarding.
- Kentucky meets Texas, with Kentucky relying on size and rebounding to counter Texas' high-powered offense led by Rori Harmon and Madison Booker.
- Oklahoma takes on South Carolina, with Oklahoma needing to reduce turnovers to overcome the top-seeded Gamecocks, who have dominated early tournament games with size, speed, and depth.
- Virginia, coming from the First Four, faces TCU in a tight matchup where Virginia's guard play and defense will be key against TCU star Olivia Miles.
