What channel is UCLA vs. Minnesota on today? Time, TV schedule, live stream to watch women's NCAA Sweet 16 game

It's getting down to the wire — after an intense first week of games, No. 1 UCLA and No. 4 Minnesota will go head-to-head in the Sweet 16 on Friday.

No. 1 seed UCLA has its eyes set on the Final. The Bruins fell just short last year but kept most of their core squad and have been able to get right back to the top. Lauren Betts & Co. have been strong in the tournament so far, defeating No. 16 Cal Baptist first, and then No. 8 Oklahoma State in the second round.

No. 4 Minnesota will have a real challenge ahead of them this weekend, but anything's possible in March. The Golden Gophers barely held on in the second round, sending No. 5 Ole Miss home in a 65-63 thriller.
