David Glidden's 2024 Women's March Madness Optimal Bracket
Fade Caitlin Clark at #1 Iowa and tourney favorite #1 South Carolina - pick #3 UConn instead!
Editor’s note: The women’s bracket tips off at 11:30am ET (just 30 minutes from when I’m publishing this 😬) so I’ll keep it brief! Thanks to my cousin Hannah for inviting me to her women’s pool and inspiring me to use the same methodology here that I do for my men’s picks!
Unlike the men’s bracket, in the women’s bracket, pick #3 UConn to win it all, fading crowd favorites #1 South Carolina and Caitlin Clark with #1 Iowa.
#3 UConn has the third-highest chances of winning the championship at 16% according to Nate Silver, but are picked to win it all by only 4.4% of the crowd, so you’re getting great value! That said, it will be an upward climb as #1 South Carolina has a 41% chance of winning it all. Good luck!
