TITANS TO WATCH

Carly Drew scored 28 points in the February matchup against IUSB, going 10-of-16 from the field and 4-of-8 from three. She is a primary scoring option and can heat up quickly. Marley Hughes had 14 points and 6 assists in the most recent meeting, providing playmaking and perimeter scoring.

Tuesday's winner advances to Thursday's semifinals and will face the winner of No. 2 seed St. Francis vs. No. 7 seed St. Ambrose.
