? vs. ? Sixth ranked Mercy and second ranked Cooper are up next in tonight's 6:00 game. 

The Lady Jaguars from Union (29-3) defeated the Jaguars from Louisville (24-9) 67-64 at the LIT in January. Both are loaded with star power and played top 5 schedules this season. 

With several great first round games in the books already, this I think, will be the best of them all.
