2024 March Madness predictions: How to bet the women's Sweet 16 games - ESPN

The women's NCAA tournament ramps back up Friday as we enter the Sweet 16. So what are the bets to make?

Here are our experts Charlie Creme, Mackenzie Kraemer and Tyler Fulghum to explain which games they're making their picks on.

Notre Dame (-3.5) vs. Oregon State. My previous concerns about Notre Dame's depth have proven to be unfounded. The Irish are playing their best basketball even with six players and their defense has been elite. — Creme

Indiana (+15.5) vs. South Carolina. Double-digit favorites are 24-0 in the NCAA Tournament but just 8-16 ATS. ESPN Analytics has this line projected at 10.9. South Carolina hasn't covered yet in the tournament, and Indiana could make it 0-3 with a healthy Mackenzie Holmes. — Kraemer

South Carolina (-15.5) vs. Indiana. I see no reason to stop betting into South Carolina. Dawn Staley's crew has looked even more dominant than last year to this point. — Fulghum

UCLA (+120) vs. LSU. Kim Mulkey's distractions off the floor could be a factor. Middle Tennessee State was trailing LSU by just 1 at half in the Round of 32. UCLA is in a completely different class than MTSU. — Fulghum

Colorado (+230) vs. Iowa. Iowa hasn't come close to covering yet in the NCAA Tournament. Their lines have been inflated all tournament, including against Colorado. Colorado's defense could frustrate Iowa just like West Virginia, except the Buffs have the firepower to pull off a win. — Kraemer

NC State (+145) vs. Stanford. The Cardinal's lackluster guard play, especially on defense, nearly cost them against Iowa State. NC State's guards are better and finally found their rhythm in round two. Take the Wolfpack outright. — Creme

Texas vs. Gonzaga UNDER 140.5 (-120). Texas NCAA Tournament games are 8-4 to the under
