Espn Women’s Bracketology: 2024 NCAA tournament
By Charlie Creme Updated: 1/2/2024 at 9:00 a.m. ET
With the arrival of conference play, we will project the field of 68 every Tuesday and Friday from now until Selection Sunday on March 17. Albany, New York, and Portland, Oregon, will host the regionals, as the two-site format remains for a second consecutive year. It all culminates in Cleveland at the Final Four on April 5 and 7.
Bracket Watch
The strength of the Pac-12 might be a blessing and a curse. Both sides were on display last weekend. USC lost a competitive game at UCLA, but the loss didn’t hurt the Trojans’ No. 2 seed because it was to one of the two best teams in the country and USC was previously unbeaten. A loss didn’t work as well for Utah. After falling at Colorado, the Utes drop to a No. 4 seed. Their loss was also to a top-10 team on the road, but it was Utah’s third such loss this season. This is now life in the Pac-12. Instead of beating the rest of the country, the top teams in the Pac-12 must play each other. The conference’s schedule features seven top-10 matchups in the next month. No league will have as much influence on the top seeds as the Pac-12.
