It’s time to go dancing.
The women’s March Madness competition began on March 15 with the First Four. The remaining 64 teams are hungry for a chance to play at Dallas’ American Airlines Arena, home of the 2023 Women’s Final Four and national championship game.
South Carolina enters as the reigning champion, with a record and conference tournament undefeated title. The Gamecocks are the obvious favorites, but the conversation is growing to include Indiana, Stanford, and Virginia Tech, all of which have been awarded top seeds, and Iowa and UConn, which have been awarded 2 seeds.
