Kevin Skiver, USA TODAY NETWORK

Following First Four games on Wednesday and Thursday, the women's college basketball bracket is officially set. Friday features a full slate of madness, and some of the sport's biggest stars will be in action.

One player who noticeably will be MIA Friday is South Carolina's Kamilla Cardoso, who was suspended for fighting in South Carolina's win over LSU to win the SEC. Though Cardoso is not playing, Dawn Staley's unit is penciled in as a favorite for the tournament this year after an undefeated regular season.

North Carolina and Michigan State will face off as the No. 8 seed and No. 9 seed, respectively, in Columbia, and Alabama and Florida State will face off in another 8-9 showdown.
