Good Morning! Here’s what happened in the world of sports on Monday, March 24.

WOMEN’S MARCH MADNESS

This year’s tournament was altered drastically last night in Los Angeles when USC Trojans star and likely National Player of the Year JuJu Watkins went down in the first quarter holding her knee. USC advanced to the Sweet 16 thanks to an incredible team performance and season-high 36 points from Kiki Iriafen, but basketball fans held their breaths, awaiting news on what looked like a severe injury. Worst fears were confirmed late last night when it was reported by ESPN insider Shams Charania that Watkins tore her right ACL. She will miss the remainder of this season and likely most of next year. It’s a brutal blow for the top-seeded Trojans, for a true superstar in Watkins, and for fans of the game of basketball. Wishing JuJu all the best in her recovery.

Although a truly unfortunate injury hangs over the bracket, let’s take a look at the extremely intriguing final 16:

• REGION ONE: (1) UCLA and Lauren Betts are the favorites against (5) Ole Miss, while (3) LSU takes on (2) NC State in a potential game of the tournament thus far.

• REGION FOUR: The other group heading to Spokane for the weekend, (1) USC will face a resurgent (5) Kansas State team, led by the now healthy Ayoka Lee. K-State beat (4) Kentucky 80-79 in overtime on Sunday. The favorite in this region, however, has to be Paige Bueckers and (2) UConn. They’ll face a tough opponent in (3) Oklahoma.

• REGION TWO: (1) South Carolina won 108-48 in round one… the defending champs match up against (4) Maryland in the Sweet 16. Maryland won an unbelievable double-overtime game last night against (5) Alabama. And rounding out the region, (3) North Carolina will play (2) Duke in a special edition of their storied rivalry.

• REGION THREE: This region is anyone’s guess as to who makes the Final Four. (1) Texas has to deal with (5) Tennessee, who almost beat the Longhorns in January and have a win over South Carolina on their resume. The other side sees the most underseeded team in the tournament, (3) Notre Dame, take on Hailey Van Lith and (2) TCU. Appointment television for each these games in Birmingham!

"We need the adversity. Especially being a new team, we get to learn a lot about each other during tough times. You usually don't see things when you're winning. So we got the chance to grow. We're going to use this opportunity to grow." –Lakers forward Dorian Finney-Smith, after LA lost their third consecutive game
