Women's NCAA Tournament 2024: Schedule, How to Watch, Game Times, Odds

The 2024 women's NCAA tournament field of 68 is set and tips off with the First Four starting Wednesday.

From those odds to the schedule, here's everything you need to know about the highly anticipated women's NCAA tournament.
