The No. 1 Bruins are the top seeded team in the Sacramento 2 regional and have advanced to the second weekend of March Madness for the fourth consecutive season under head coach Cori Close. UCLA is eyeing what would be its second straight Final Four appearance.

No. 3 Duke is in the Elite Eight for the second straight season under coach Kara Lawson. After starting the season 3-6, Duke broke off a 17-game winning streak and went on to win the ACC's regular season and tournament titles. The Blue Devils advanced to the regional final by upsetting No. 2 LSU on Friday night thanks to a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Ashlon Jackson. Sophomore forward Toby Fournier leads Duke with 17.5 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game.
