The 2026 women’s NCAA Tournament is moving to the Sweet 16 after the field was finalized Monday night.
While the top-seeded reigning champions on the men's side in Florida is out, the same can't be said for the women's bracket. UConn is cruising through the tournament thus far, most recently thrashing No. 9 Syracuse 98-45.
The bracket hasn't seen as many upsets compared to the men's side, which means the closing stages will be loaded with elite talents. No. 10 Virginia is the lowest seed remaining.
No. 2 LSU and Flau'jae Johnson are dancing effortlessly thus far, while Olivia Miles and No. 3 TCU narrowly advanced in the second round. All No. 1 seeds are also alive in Texas, South Carolina and UCLA.
