It’s Super Bowl Sunday in the U.S., and the stage is set for an electrifying showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and the defending champions, the Kansas City Chiefs! But as excitement fills the air in New Orleans, there’s a section of fans who aren’t quite as hyped for the rematch of Super Bowl LVII.

The rescheduling of several NCAAW games today has left many fans in a tough spot. Major matchups like SC vs. Texas, NC State vs. FSU, and Notre Dame vs. California have all been pushed to 2:00 pm ET. For basketball fans, this timing clash means they won’t be able to watch their favorite stars play at the same time.

It’s really unfair to players like Olivia Miles because, with all these games happening at the same time, fewer fans will be able to watch their games. With so many amazing matchups on, people will have to pick which one to watch, and sadly, some of the best players might not get the attention they deserve.

So, why the last-minute schedule shuffle? Well, we’ve got some insight! Natalie Esquire of NBC Sports suggests that the games were rescheduled to avoid clashing with the Super Bowl. It makes sense, with the big game taking center stage, they likely wanted to steer clear of competition for viewers. But for fans of college basketball, it’s a tough trade-off. The spotlight’s all on football, and the women’s games are taking a backseat.

Let’s explore the challenges that top college basketball stars will face in their 2 pm games today!

What is in store for Olivia Miles and Dawn Staley?

Ranked third in the nation, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, spearheaded by dynamic duo Olivia Miles and Hannah Hidalgo, are set to host the California Golden Bears at Purcell Pavilion. ESPN gives them a 95% chance to secure the win against the 21st-ranked team in the country, with all eyes on Miles and Hidalgo. These two have been unstoppable and have been pivotal to Notre Dame’s success this season!

But the real showdown of the day is undoubtedly Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks facing off against the Texas Longhorns! With both teams ranked second and fourth in the nation, this game is poised to be an absolute thriller. All eyes will be on Joyce Edwards of South Carolina and Madison Booker of Texas, as the two powerhouse players will lead their squads into what promises to be a fierce battle. Even ESPN couldn’t pick a winner, giving both teams an equal 50-50 chance. This one’s too close to call!

While the Super Bowl takes center stage today, it’s unfortunate that the excitement of college basketball’s top matchups is being overshadowed. With key games like Notre Dame vs. California and South Carolina vs. Texas being pushed to 2 pm, the women’s game is struggling to get the attention it truly deserves. What’s your take on this?
