Olivia Miles recorded a historic triple-double with 12 points, 16 rebounds, and 14 assists as TCU 86, UC San Diego 40 dominated their first-round matchup. Miles became just the third player in NCAA tournament history with multiple triple-doubles, joining elite company like Sabrina Ionescu.

In the other featured game, Duke 81, Charleston 64 saw ACC champion Blue Devils overcome a strong performance from Charleston's Taryn Barbot, who scored 36 points. Duke was led by Toby Fournier's 24 points on 11-of-18 shooting, though coach Kara Lawson expressed frustration with her team's execution.

Both top seeds advanced despite uneven performances. TCU's offensive resurgence with 36 points from Miles' passes offers promise for their next matchup. Duke must address defensive consistency and turnover issues if they hope to make a deep run in the tournament.
