The second round of the 2022 Women's NCAA Tournament concludes Monday with eight games, and the top seed in the Bridgeport Region looks to move on to the Sweet 16. The North Carolina State Wolfpack are hoping to build off their impressive 96-68 first-round victory over Longwood when they begin the day's action against the ninth-seeded Kansas State Wildcats at 4 p.m. ET. The slate also features the No. 2 seed in the region in the Connecticut Huskies, who take on the seventh-seeded UCF Knights at 9 p.m. ET. In addition, three No. 3 seeds will be looking to punch their tickets to the round of 16 on Monday. 

Blowouts were the norm in the first round, while the first day of the second round saw a huge upset take place. Whether you think the second day will consist of one-sided contests or another unexpected result or two will be posted, you could cash in. The payout could be even more significant if you build your picks into a parlay. Before locking in any 2022 Women's NCAA Tournament picks or women's college basketball parlays, you need to check out the women's college basketball predictions and betting advice from SportsLine experts Calvin Wetzel and Aaron Barzilai.

Top Women's NCAA Tournament picks for Monday

One of Barzilai and Wetzel's picks for their parlay is Connecticut to cover as 14.5-point favorites against UCF. The Huskies cruised to their 11th consecutive victory on Saturday, an 83-38 triumph against Mercer in the first round. UConn is averaging 75 points this season, 27 more than the 48 UCF is allowing per contest, and has scored at least 70 in six straight outings. Senior guard Christyn Williams recorded a game-high 13 points and five rebounds, while sophomore guard Paige Bueckers had 12 points and five assists in the win over the Bears.

The Huskies shot 44.4 percent from beyond the arc against Mercer, with five different players making at least two 3-pointers. Azzi Fudd was UConn's most dangerous shooter from long distance, converting all three of her attempts. The freshman guard is averaging 2.4 3-pointers while hitting 45.3 percent of her long-distance shots.
