  • Robert Morris gave 2 seed Alabama a scare in what was almost a huge upset during the first round of the NCAA tournament.

In the opening round of the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament, the No. 1 seed Alabama Crimson Tide narrowly escaped an upset by defeating the No. 16 seed Robert Morris Colonials with a close score of 74-68. Despite being favored, Alabama struggled throughout the game, particularly in the second half where Robert Morris mounted a comeback, reducing a 17-point deficit to just three points with less than a minute remaining. Alabama's victory was secured by key free throws from Brittany Davis, who led the team with 19 points. This game highlighted the unpredictable nature of March Madness, where underdogs like Robert Morris, led by standout performances from players like Isabella Posset who scored 20 points, can challenge and nearly defeat top-seeded teams.
