March Madness Predictions: Repicking Our Women’s Sweet 16 Brackets

After some surprising upsets, are we changing who we think will make the Final Four and more?

Before the women’s Sweet 16 begins on Friday, it’s time to reset things. With the bracket locked in through two rounds, some of our original expert predictions have turned out better than others.

None of our writers saw the upsets that rocked the Greensboro and Wichita regions coming, with Creighton and South Dakota, both No. 10 seeds, crashing the Sweet 16 after taking down Iowa and Baylor, respectively. Can either underdog go to the Elite Eight or beyond? Or will favorites reign to the Final Four in Minneapolis?

We’re giving our bracket predictions another crack, starting with a fresh Sweet 16 slate.
