Women’s NCAA Tournament down to 1 perfect bracket through Saturday’s opening game

By Canadian Press on March 29, 2025.

And then there was one.

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.

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.

The remaining bracket has Texas, UConn and USC among the teams continuing on.

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.

Perfection on the men’s side ended last weekend, when the last of 34 million on the NCAA’s platform bowed out.
