This is kinda crazy ... in the women's NCAA tournament, 14-16 seeds have won exactly 1 game ever.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Mar 16 '23, 09:20

Harvard (a 16) beat Stanford (a 1) in 1998. No 14 or 15 have ever won an opening game.

and that 16 over 1 was a fluke because Stanford had at least 1 key player get hurt just prior to the tournament but couldn't be dropped down the seed line.

Responses:

Yeah, Stanford had a key player hurt and some say Princeton shouldn’t have been a 16. - Tim Mar 16, 10:38
Opening rounds are also usually home games for the top seed in each pod. -- nm - St. Louis BaronHawks Mar 16, 09:40
64-field for Women is relatively newer -- nm* - budice Mar 16, 09:25 1
- It's been since 1994...the men was since 1985 so not much longer. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 16, 09:27
It really should be a field of 32 or so. -- nm - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 16, 09:24
and UConn WBB been to 14 straight Final Fours. -- nm* - budice Mar 16, 09:22
