On Wednesday night, a pair of First Four games will officially launch the 2024 women's NCAA Tournament.

Presbyterian and Sacred Heart will battle for the No. 16 seed in the Albany 1 Region. The winner of that contest will face top-seeded South Carolina, which enters the bracket with a perfect 32-0 record but won't have leading scorer Kamilla Cardoso in the first round.

Columbia and Vanderbilt will meet in the second game of the evening. Either the Lions or the Commodores will fill the No. 12 slot in the Portland 3 Region, setting the stage for a first-round matchup with No. 5 Baylor.

Here is everything you need to know about today's schedule, including tipoff times and TV and streaming options for First Four games.
