March Madness expert picks: Bracket predictions for 2025 women's NCAA Tournament
You're just recovering from the madness of Selection Sunday and the reveal of the 68 teams in the NCAA women's tournament bracket. Now comes the hard part: Trying to make your picks on which teams will advance, which teams will be upset and which teams will reach the Final Four in Tampa, Florida.
The selection committee did not make this easy. Southern California and UConn are on the same side of the bracket. So one of the tournament's most anticipated matchups — between JuJu Watkins and Paige Bueckers — would come in the Elite Eight. SoCal and UCLA could meet in the semifinals, not the championship game April 6 at Amalie Arena.
Meanwhile, No. 1 seeds Texas and South Carolina could meet in the Final Four.
Do you want some expert brackets to help guide you? Here are our best from the USA TODAY Sports staff as they predict every game through the Final Four and national championship.
