The men’s NCAA basketball tournament might be the run for Texas, but the women’s tourney’s destination is just up the road in Indianapolis, where Butler University is hosting. Who’s going to have their chance to get to the Hoosier state’s championship locally of the 64 team field though? That question was answered Monday, and the response looked something like this. By the way, most of these games will be featured on the ESPN networks.

The (7) Lady Cards are cruising up to Cincinnati to take on Nashville’s (10) Vanderbilt Sunday afternoon.
Kentucky
The SEC At-Large (4) Wildcats see the MEAC champion (13) Hampton in Albuquerque Saturday evening.
