#5 seed and #17 ranked (in both major polls LAST WEEK) Women's basketball (24-9 overall; 11-7 in conference play) aims to go at least one step farther than last year, to the Elite 8, and once again standing in the way it's the (#2 ranked right now) Iowa Hawkeyes (31-4, 15-3), the #1 seeds this year in the "Albany 2" region. The game will be at the MVP Arena in Albany, NY, with the tipoff scheduled for 1:30 PM MT.
The game is scheduled to be shown on ABC. (Further info and links for media options available near the bottom of this post.)
Go Buffs!!!

A couple notes:
1) Time and network are based on the below Brian Howell tweet. (Both the NCAA and ESPN brackets have game as TBA.)
2) Per an earlier tweet he made, the CU- Iowa game follows #3 seed LSU - #2 seed UCLA, which is scheduled to start at 11:00 and is also in Albany. Therefore, I wouldn't be shocked if the CU tipoff isn't later than 2:30, as my impression (no data to back it up) is that the 2nd games when there's a 2-1/2 hour scheduled gap between game starts often seem to start late.
