Full Women's NCAA Tournament schedule: Friday, March 17
By Matt Zemek,

USC plays in the Women’s NCAA Tournament on Friday, March 17. The Trojans will play in one of the 16 first-round games that day, part of a jam-packed day of college basketball on which the USC men will also play.
Fortunately for USC basketball fans, the men’s and women’s games will be far apart on the Friday slate. They won’t overlap at all. The men play the first game on Friday morning in Los Angeles, while the women play during the evening rush hour in L.A.
USC’s women’s and men’s basketball programs are in the NCAA Tournament in the same year for the first time since 1997. It’s a very special time to be a USC basketball fan, and the women’s tournament — which has grown in visibility on television in recent years — can be found on the ESPN family of networks: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, and (on the weekends) ABC.
Find out how to watch each Women’s NCAA Tournament game on Friday, with USC being at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific. Games are listed in the order in which they start, beginning at 11:30 a.m. Eastern and continuing for the next 13 hours on March 17.
