Women’s NCAA Tournament Bracket Update
Introduction to the Tournament
The women’s NCAA Tournament has seen its fair share of upsets and thrilling victories, with millions of fans filling out brackets in hopes of achieving perfection. As the tournament progressed, the number of perfect brackets dwindled significantly.
The Last Perfect Bracket Standing
TCU’s 71-62 win over Notre Dame on Saturday took out six perfect brackets in the women’s NCAA Tournament, leaving one out of 3.2 million on ESPN’s bracket tracker. This significant upset has left only one perfect bracket remaining, a remarkable feat considering the tournament’s unpredictability.
The Bracket Buster
Seven brackets were a perfect 53-0 through the first half of the Sweet 16 games on Friday, but didn’t last long. Six had the No. 3-seeded Irish taking out the No. 2 Horned Frogs, but Hailey Van Lith had other ideas, scoring 12 of her 26 points in the fourth quarter.
TCU’s win also left CBS Sports Bracket Games with no perfect brackets remaining.
Impact on Bracket Predictions
The remaining bracket has UConn, LSU, South Carolina, and Texas in the Final Four, with the reigning champion Gamecocks beating the Huskies in the title game. This prediction is a testament to the bracket owner’s knowledge of the teams and their capabilities.
Biggest Upsets
The biggest bracket buster so far was No. 9 seed Indiana’s 76-68 win over No. 8 seed Utah in the first round, ending 1.2 million perfect brackets. No. 10 Oregon’s 77-73 overtime win over No. 7 Vanderbilt in the first round took out an additional 633,227.
Comparison to Men’s Tournament
Perfection on the men’s side ended last weekend, when the last of 34 million on the NCAA’s platform bowed out. This highlights the competitive nature of both tournaments and the challenges of achieving a perfect bracket.
Conclusion
As the women’s NCAA Tournament continues, fans are on the edge of their seats, waiting to see how the remaining games will play out. The last perfect bracket standing is a remarkable achievement, and its predictions will be closely watched in the coming days.
