2025 Women's March Madness First Four schedule: Where to watch the NCAA Tournament opening round

After gaining national stardom in the 2024 NCAA Tournament, Audi Crooks leads Iowa State into the 2025 First Four

The field of 68 is set for the 2025 Women's NCAA Tournament. Although the brewing tensions surrounding the No. 1 overall seed will grab a lot of the headlines, this year features four interesting First Four matchups.

For this year's First Four, two of the games will feature the last four at-large teams in the field as 11-seeds. The other two games feature four 16-seeds comprised of the lowest-seeded conference champions. 

On Wednesday, 11-seeds Iowa State and Princeton will face off for the opportunity to compete against Michigan. Shortly after, 16-seeds UC San Diego and Southern will play each other for a shot at the No. 1 overall seed, UCLA.
