"Undefeated UConn continues its title defense and heads into March Madness with a perfect 34-0 record and riding a 50-game winning streak. The Huskies are seeking the program's seventh perfect season and 13th national championship."
"Sophomore forward Sarah Strong, the front-runner for national player of the year, has become one of the game's top superstars. She leads UConn in points (18.5), rebounds (7.6), steals (3.4) and blocks (1.6). She is shooting 60.1% from the field, 42.7% from 3-point range and 87.3% from the foul line."
"From Charleston, which is dancing for the first time, to Tennessee, the only team to play in every women's NCAA tournament since its inception in 1982, Sunday's release of the bracket revealed which teams are in, which bubble teams got left out and which matchups might be waiting on the road to Phoenix."
The 2026 women's NCAA tournament bracket has been released, featuring 68 teams competing for the national championship in Phoenix on April 5. Undefeated UConn enters as a top seed with a perfect 34-0 record and 50-game winning streak, defending its title from last season. The Huskies are seeking their seventh perfect season and 13th national championship despite losing 2025 WNBA No. 1 draft pick Paige Bueckers. Sophomore forward Sarah Strong leads UConn as a national player of the year candidate, averaging 18.5 points and shooting over 60% from the field. Senior guard Azzi Fudd, projected as the 2026 WNBA No. 1 pick, averages 17.7 points per game. Charleston makes its tournament debut while Tennessee has participated in every tournament since 1982. The First Four games begin Wednesday and Thursday, with the first round opening Friday.
