The brackets have been launched, and it’s certainly time to let the insanity start. The ladies’s NCAA Match bracket was revealed shortly after the lads’s bracket and there have been a few surprises.
With that being stated, listed below are three winners and two losers from the reveal of the ladies’s bracket.
Winners
UCLA
The Bruins had been named the No. 1 general seed within the match, regardless of many speculating that both South Carolina or Southern California can be the recipient of that spot.
The Bruins’ hardest opponent to get by means of will now be North Carolina State, quite than Connecticut or TCU. UCLA might very properly have the simplest path out of the 4 No. 1 seeds.
Iowa State
The Cyclones made it into the sector as one of many final 4 groups and must get by means of Princeton to advance to the Spherical of 64.
If Iowa State can get by means of to the primary spherical, be careful for the Cyclones. Audi Crooks and firm have already got a win over fifth-seeded Kansas State and have performed two-seed TCU shut a number of occasions. They will not be a straightforward recreation for anybody.
Ivy League
The “sensible colleges” ended up with three groups within the subject (Harvard, Princeton, Columbia).
Princeton and Columbia had been two of the final 4 groups within the subject and might want to win a “First 4” recreation to get by means of to the primary spherical.
Losers
Southern California
The Trojans had been anticipated by many to be the No. 1 general seed within the match they usually wound up being the fourth general No. 1 seed.
As a substitute of now having one of many lesser No. 2 seeds like NC State or Duke to get by means of, the Trojans will now must presumably knock off UConn within the Elite Eight.
Notre Dame
One more seeding shock, the Combating Irish dropped all the way down to a No. 3 seed when the bracket was revealed.
Simply 21 days in the past, Notre Dame was ranked No. 1 within the nation, and it has now fallen to a minimum of No. 9 within the eyes of the choice committee.
