March Madness women's perfect bracket tracker: Only 138 perfect brackets remain as first round wraps up
It took a while for things to settle down, and there weren't many upsets on the day, but an incredible 97.9% of entries in Yahoo Sports' Women's Bracket Mayhem were busted after the first day of play on Friday in the women's NCAA tournament. Then, on Saturday night, with all but two games complete in the final round, only 138 perfect brackets remained. There weren't any big upsets in the early wave of games. UConn rolled to a 69-point win over Arkansas State, and NC State, Alabama, Iowa and West Virginia all picked up double-digit wins. But it still knocked out a good chunk of perfect brackets to get the day started and brought the number down to just 1.7% through 22 games. Then, after No. 10 South Dakota State's win over No. 7 Oklahoma State, USC's opening-round win and Mississippi State's win over Cal, just 0.2% were still standing. Then, after No. 6 Florida State grabbed a 35-point win over No. 11 George Mason, that number was brought down to less than 200. The Seminoles were the least-picked No. 6 seed in the tournament. Upsets were hard to come by on Friday in the women's tournament. Only No. 9 Indiana's 76-68 win over No. 8 Utah and No 10 Oregon's 77-73 overtime win over No. 7 Vanderbilt were technical upsets based on seeding. Richmond's blowout win over Georgia Tech, which wasn't an upset seeding-wise, knocked out about 5% of perfect brackets. The rest of the games went down as the selection committee expected. No. 1 seed South Carolina picked up a 60-point win over Tennessee Tech, and No. 3 Notre Dame beat No. 14 Stephen F. Austin by 52 points to rally after what was a brutal finish to the season for the Fighting Irish. Ohio State, TCU, Ole Miss and Baylor all grabbed double-digit wins, too. The biggest scare of Friday came after No. 4 Kentucky nearly blew a 17-point fourth-quarter lead. The Wildcats beat No. 13 Liberty by just a single point in their matchup.
