The NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament field is officially set, with First Four games beginning Wednesday, March 18 and Round of 64 games beginning two days later. Games throughout the entire tournament will be broadcast on ESPN or ESPN affiliates, such as the national championship on ABC.
Part of the fun that comes with March Madness is filling out brackets either on paper or digitally, predicting the result of each game. Our South Bend Tribune Notre Dame women’s basketball beat reporter did just that.
There aren’t many monumental upsets, but three of the four No. 2 seeds got bounced in the Sweet Sixteen, most notably. Will undefeated No. 1 UConn win its second national title in a row? Here are our predictions.
