The numbers have been stunning in this memorable season for women’s college basketball.

Iowa’s Caitlin Clark has broken scoring records. Paige Bueckers is again producing eye-popping statistics for the University of Connecticut after missing most of the past two seasons with knee injuries. Hannah Hidalgo (Notre Dame) and JuJu Watkins (University of Southern California) are enjoying two of the most productive freshman seasons ever.

All of them have led their teams into a star-studded field for the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Division I tournament. The regional semifinals are set for Friday and Saturday in Albany, New York, and Portland, Oregon, with four games each day. Elite Eight matchups follow on Sunday and Monday, with two each day.

Here’s a rundown of notable statistics regarding each of the teams remaining from what started as a 68-team field last week. (No. indicates a team’s seed; record is in parentheses.)
