March Madness: Top seeds move on to Elite Eight in women's NCAA Tournament

Paige Bueckers put on a show in her bid to win a first national championship. Southern California proved it can win without JuJu Watkins.

Bueckers scored a career-high 40 points in UConn's blowout of Oklahoma, sending the second-seeded Huskies to the Elite Eight for the 18th time in 19 seasons.

UConn will face USC on Monday after the Trojans took down No. 5 seed Kansas State 67-61 in their first game since Watkins tore her ACL. The Huskies knocked USC out of last year's NCAA Tournament, when Watkins was a freshman, so the Trojans will be looking for a little payback.
