The women’s basketball team will play Rutgers in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament Sunday at 2:30 p.m. The game is at Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, N.C. UConn and Old Dominion are in the first game of the day at that venue, at noon.

Rutgers and GW faced earlier in the season at Smith Center, with the Scarlet Knight heading home with a 25-point victory. Rutgers is one of the most talented teams in the nation and really knows how to exploit that talent. They also play in the ultra-competitive Big East and aren’t afraid of any opponent. But GW senior Whitney Allen told me after her team’s second-round win over Cal that she thinks her team is ready to better its result from last season, a Sweet 16 loss to North Carolina.
