Women’s Bracketology 2/4/2024

Now that the calendar has turned to February it is time for my first bracketology projection for this year’s women’s tournament. Unsurprisingly, the undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks occupy the #1 overall seed. After that, the field is a bit messy, with a half dozen other teams having solid cases for a 1 seed.

There’s a distinct west coast flavor to the top of the bracket with 4 Pac-12 teams and Gonzaga among the protected seeds. I don’t know if there will be enough room for both Stanford and UCLA on the 1 line at the end of the season, their matchup this afternoon will go a long ways to determining who holds that spot.
