The NCAA Women's Tournament resumes Friday with the Sweet 16 as teams look to punch their ticket to the Elite Eight. All four No. 1 seeds remain, but USC will have to keep dancing without its best player after JuJu Watkins suffered a torn ACL in the second round.

The Sweet 16 gets started with a rivalry clash between No. 2 seed Duke and No. 3 seed North Carolina. The Tar Heels cruised through their first two games while the Blue Devils won both of their matchups by a combined 10 points.

Reigning national champion South Carolina will also take the court Friday to face No. 4 seed Maryland. Star player Chloe Kitts posted a double-double in the Gamecocks' second-round win over Indiana, and she'll need to keep that going against the Terrapins.

Top overall seed UCLA hardly broke a sweat last weekend with a pair of blowout victories, but the level of difficulty will go up a notch when the Bruins play No. 5 seed Ole Miss. That game will take place Friday night.

The other No. 1 seed, Texas, will get No. 5 seed Tennessee on Saturday as the Longhorns look to keep their impressive season rolling.

Despite all of the double-digit seeds being eliminated, this year there are several dangerous teams that are serious contenders outside of the No. 1 seeds. Look no further than the three remaining No. 5 seeds -- Ole Miss, Kansas State and Tennessee. Those programs are coming off big road wins to reach the Sweet 16.

Two cities -- Birmingham, Ala., and Spokane, Wash. -- will host this year's Sweet 16 and Elite Eight before the remaining teams head to Florida for the Final Four and national championship game in Tampa.

Below is all the information you'll need to keep up with the action. Be sure to check back in on this page as it will be updated with matchups and tip times over the next three weeks.
