The final day of the second round of the 2026 women’s NCAA tournament is underway. We’re tracking every game as the regional semifinals take shape.

Here is ESPN’s guide to all the Day 4 results, with analysis from reporters of how each game was won, and our experts’ takes on each winner’s chances to advance to the Elite Eight.

How Louisville won: The Cardinals lost five games at home this season, and Alabama almost made it six Monday. Louisville did just enough to hold off the Crimson Tide despite leaving the door open: The Cardinals were just 8-of-16 from the free throw line and 7-of-26 from behind the 3-point arc, while Alabama was 4-of-4 from the stripe and 12-of-26 from 3. But Louisville also controlled the boards 41-24 and was called for just 10 fouls to Alabama’s 21.

Louisville’s Tajianna Roberts and Elif Istanbulluoglu each had 18 points, and Laura Ziegler had 12. The Cardinals have advanced to the Sweet 16 for the 13th time and head to the Fort Worth Regional. On the other side, freshman Ace Austin had 17 points to lead Alabama, which was trying to make the program’s first Sweet 16 since 1998. Instead, the Crimson Tide end their season at 24-11.

Louisville’s Sweet 16 opponent: (2) Michigan

How Louisville can advance to the Elite Eight: The Cardinals face a Michigan team that cruised in its first two tournament games, beating Holy Cross by 35 and NC State by 29. Sophomore standouts Olivia Olson (27 points against the Wolfpack) and Syla Swords (26) have posed challenges for defenders all season, and the Cardinals will need to figure out some way to keep them from taking over the game. Louisville didn’t guard the 3-point line against Alabama as well as it wanted to, and it can’t afford to give the Wolverines those kinds of looks.

Zinedine Zidane will succeed Didier Deschamps as France national team head coach in the summer, with a verbal agreement already reached between the former Real Madrid star and the Fédération Française de Football (FFF), sources have told ESPN.

Didier Deschamps departing from the France national team after 14 successful years has been the worst kept secret in French football and Zidane, who finished his second stint as Los Blancos manager in 2021, has been long destined for the role.

At 53, Zidane had been waiting for his fellow 1998 World Cup winner to leave in order for him to take the job.

He has had to wait longer than he first thought he would but he will officially be appointed once the 2026 World Cup is concluded for France.

The last detail to iron out before he can sign his contract is over his staff and how big his team can be.

In an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro published on Sunday, the head of the FFF, Philippe Diallo admitted for the first time that he knew who Deschamp’s successor was going to be.

“I know who it is” was his answer. He didn’t reveal Zidane’s name but sources have told ESPN that it will be him.

As New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch and his siblings look to transfer an equity stake to a children’s trust, the overall value of the franchise has been revealed.

An NFL memo obtained by ESPN earlier this month found the Tisch family — Steve, Jonathan and Laurie — are seeking a transfer of their collective equity stake in the franchise to their children. The proposed stake was 23.1% of the team. 

The proposed transfer of equity values the team at $10.8 billion, according to Sports Business Journal, which would put a 23.1% stake at roughly $2.5 billion.

For comparison, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross sold 1% of his team to billionaire entrepreneur Lin Bin with the valuation at a record $12.5 billion. 

Julia Koch, a board member with Koch Industries, also bought a 10% stake in the Giants with a valuation at $10.3 billion in October 2025.

It’s also worth noting that the NFL memo stated, “Following the transactions, the Sellers will no longer own any interest in the Club.” 

It is unknown if the transfer requests have anything to do with Steve Tisch’s name appearing in the Epstein files released by the U.S. Justice Department in January. His name appeared more than 400 times in the files, and while he said at the time he knew of Epstein, he denied visiting Epstein’s infamous island.

“We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy and investments,” Steve Tisch said in a statement on Jan. 31. “I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with.”

The U.S. Justice Department released more than 3 million documents related to the Epstein investigation, which included email exchanges from April 2013 and June 2013 between Tisch and Epstein. Some of those exchanges appear to show conversations about women. 

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in February the league would look into Steve Tisch’s association with Epstein. 

“Absolutely we will look at all the facts,” Goodell said at a news conference in San Jose, California, during Super Bowl week. “We’ll look at the context of those and try to understand that. We’ll look at how that falls under the (league personal conduct) policy. I think we’ll take one step at a time. Let’s get the facts first.”

The Tisch family has been involved in Giants ownership since 1991 alongside the Mara family, which founded the franchise in 1925.
