Game summaries and tournament notes

The “seed composition” of the Elite Eight was the exact same in both the men’s and women’s tournament: Men’s Elite Eight: Four #1 seeds, three #2 seeds, one #3 seed Women’s Elite Eight: Four #1 seeds, three #2 seeds, one #3 seed


Tournament upsets

Per the NCAA, an upset occurs "when the losing team in an NCAA tournament game was seeded at least five seed lines better than the winning team." For the first time in NCAA women’s March Madness history since expanding to 64 teams, no team successfully completed an official upset. In addition, this was also the first time no team completed an upset in the Round of 64 alone, meaning no team seeded 11th or lower won in the first round. Both events have never occurred in the men’s tournament since its expansion to 64 teams. In addition, no team seeded 6th through 10th won their Round of 32 game, ensuring the tournament would have no upsets following the loss of the final such team remaining.
