SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- We're certainly not going to suggest that the top-seeded UConn women needed any help in the way of upsets on their path to their projected 11th NCAA championship. But they have gotten it nonetheless.
On a wild Friday night, two No. 1 seeds -- Notre Dame and South Carolina -- were knocked out of the women's NCAA tournament. Monday, another team that was considered at least a potential threat to the Huskies -- No. 2 seed Maryland -- was eliminated in the second round.
