My dark horse pick (#5 seed Arkansas) got knocked off by a #13 seed from my hometown.

Women's college ball can be top heavy with the same handful of teams competing for the title. But it's no longer just UConn and Tennessee anymore. As more and more young women start playing, there's more parity.

There have just been tons of barriers for women's basketball over the years and up to now. Lack of resources and lack of encouragement are 2 big ones. I imagine there's probably a lot of women who didn't play ball because men kept discouraging them by saying, "I wouldn't ever watch them," or "They're not as good."
