BOWLING GREEN — The only undefeated team in NCAA Division I women's basketball — which features perhaps the best women's basketball player in the country — is one of four teams coming to Bowling Green State University's Stroh Center for the opening rounds of the NCAA tournament.

Top-seeded Baylor and its star player, 6-8 junior Brittney Griner, will begin its bid for an NCAA title by playing 16th-seed UC-Santa Barbara in a first-round game on Sunday, March 18 starting at 2:30 p.m.

That will be the second of two games at the Stroh Center, with the first featuring eighth-seeded Ohio State playing ninth seed Florida in a contest that tips off at 12:15 p.m.

The winners of those two games will meet in a second-round contest at the Stroh Center on Tuesday, March 20 at 7 p.m.
