Can UConn and Top Seeds Break the Curse and Rewrite Women’s NCAA Tournament History?
Fort Worth 3 Regional
Texas (31-3), seeking its first national title in 40 years, boasts a No. 2 ranking in defensive TRACR – that end of the floor is a staple for Vic Schaefer-coached teams – while junior forward Madison Booker is No. 2 in WAR behind only Notre Dame’s Hannah Hidalgo. The Longhorns also are quite battle-tested coming out of the Southeastern Conference, with its 14 overall Quad-1 wins including two over South Carolina.
However, the NCAA Tournament’s three other No. 1 seeds are top eight of D-I field goal percentage, while the Longhorns are just 63rd. Plus, the Longhorns’ 4.3 made 3s per game rank a mere 323rd, which could factor in heavily to a regional that has the most top-15 teams in TRACR (also Michigan, Louisville, West Virginia and Kentucky).
