CASSANDRA NEGLEY: Another number 10 seed is into the Sweet 16 after South Dakota defeated number two Baylor 61 to 47 on Sunday, hours after Iowa also went down as a two seed. South Dakota took an 11-0 lead. They were a perfect 4 for 4, and hit all three of their 3-pointers early to take that lead against Baylor.
Baylor did not look like themselves throughout the game. There was not a lot of offense. And even though they came close in the end, there was no urgency to try and take this game back from South Dakota. South Dakota also kept Alyssa Smith quiet. She's a favorite to go number 1 in the WBA draft but had only 10 points and 8 rebounds, both below her season averages.
For South Dakota, it was Hannah Chauvin, the center with 16 points, four rebounds, and four steals. South Dakota has quite a few Super seniors. Corn Gable had 11 points, five assists, and two rebounds. And Lamb had 15 points and 4 rebounds for South Dakota.
South Dakota hit 50% of their 3-pointers to get into their first Sweet 16 in program history. They will play the winner of Villanova and Michigan next weekend. Stay with Yahoo Sports for more from the women's tournament.
