What are the biggest X factors in each Sweet 16 game?
ESPN's Charlie Creme, Elizabeth Merrill, LaChina Robinson and Mechelle Voepel make their game-by-game picks and predictions:
No. 3 NC State vs. No. 2 Iowa
ESPN/ESPN App: 11:30 a.m. ET Saturday (Greensboro Regional)
X factor: Megan Gustafson is going to do her thing for Iowa. But guards Makenzie Meyer and Kathleen Doyle combined for 33 points in the second round, which was a big part in beating Missouri. NC State will need to guard the 3-point arc well while still trying to limit Gustafson. -- Mechelle Voepel
Picks:
Creme: NC State
Merrill: NC State
Robinson: Iowa
Voepel: NC State
No. 4 South Carolina vs. No. 1 Baylor
ESPN/ESPN App: 1:30 p.m. ET Saturday (Greensboro Regional)
X factor: It's hard enough to have to face standout Baylor post players Kalani Brown and Lauren Cox. But Baylor's guard play was as big a problem for Cal in the second round. In South Carolina, Baylor will be facing a team with the guard depth to challenge the Lady Bears. -- Mechelle Voepel
Picks:
Creme: Baylor
Merrill: Baylor
Robinson: Baylor
Voepel: Baylor
No. 4 Texas A&M vs. No. 1 Notre Dame
ESPN2/ESPN App: 4 p.m. ET Saturday (Chicago Regional)
X factor: The Aggies got double-digit scoring from all five starters just twice all season, but it happened in their second-round win over Marquette. Chennedy Carter still led the way with 30 points, but getting contributions from everyone might be the only way Texas A&M can stay competitive with the most balanced offense in the country. -- Charlie Creme
Picks:
Creme: Notre Dame
Merrill: Notre Dame
Robinson: Notre Dame
Voepel: Notre Dame
No. 11 Missouri State vs. No. 2 Stanford
ESPN2/ESPN App: 6 p.m. ET Saturday (Chicago Regional)
X factor: The Lady Bears have had the luxury of playing two teams (DePaul and Iowa State) with a similar style in the opening two rounds. Stanford will play inside-out. How Missouri State handles the Cardinal's size and length will determine how competitive the game is. -- Charlie Creme
Picks:
Creme: Stanford
Merrill: Stanford
Robinson: Stanford
Voepel: Stanford
